I picked up a Raleigh Retroglide with a Nexus 7 speed internal gear hub. Haven't dealt with IGH's before, and my first job was changing out the tires to something more road suitable. I looked all over the net, and several repair books, and found nothing on how to disconnect the rear tire. I butchered it, but got the job done.
Is there a more simple way to do it? I took off the nuts, then pretty much dismantled it to get the cable off. In the process, I had to loosen the nut that holds the shifter cable and mangled it pretty badly. I couldn't see doing it on the road in the event of a flat unless you bring an entire workshop with you. Any thoughts?
