3) You don't need to remove the chain tensioner, just loosen the wheel nut then loosen the tensioner a few turns and it will fall to the side then you can move the wheel up and remove the chain and remove the wheel.


So, the only difference between this bike and a road bike is with a road bike you turn the quick release lever to release the wheel. With this bike you loosen the 2 wheel bolts then the chain tensioner. Not rocket science.
I think he gets that, his problem is he's using full fenders with track drops. A PITA for even the most experienced.
