It's upper 40's,raining,and dark right now. Under those conditions,which would you rather deal with:
Open V brake,pop QR?
Open V brake,pop shift box,undo 2x15mm bolt?
10mm to open brake,unscrew both ends of shift linkage(put it back on the bike so you don't lose it),unscrew 3mm bolt(put bolt back in bike so you don't lose it),unthread tensioner(put somewhere you won't lose or step on),undo 2x15mm bolt?
I get a kick out of how some people can spin a simple process into being a huge convoluted ordeal. A few weeks ago it was just above freezing and night time when I had to repair a punctured tube on my Brommie. I was underway in little time with no dangers of losing any pieces. Apparently I have to do a video to show how it's done. Stay tuned.
