Could your average man on the street fit one without much trouble?
It's pretty simple as long as you have a little mechanical aptitude. If I remember correctly, the spacing of the skewer is set up for 135mm dropouts. If you have mountain bike then you are good to go. If not, then it might require reversing the bobbins and cutting the skewer. Here are the instructions. A lot of print which can be overwheliming but don't let it be. If you run into trouble, there are plenty of current Bob owners who will help you out. You would be wise to order a spare skewer since they are known to break.
