from my bro in law m8 , kinda newish bike that he dont use ,i am new to biking again not done it for years but needed to get fit again and got a bit of time on my hands to start enjoying the outdoors again .
as anyone got information on this bike as there was no manual for it does anyone know where i can get the manual for this bike , and any tips on how to get back tyre off if needed and general maintenance for this kind of bike like chain and brakes maintenance etc etc ,any info will be much appreciated .

Here's a youtube video on how to remove the rear tire...it's better than I could explain in words. Once used to the process, you really only need the 2mm allen key and 15mm wrench to get wheel off. I have gotten to the point where I can remove my rear tire in under a minute.

Is there some reason why you couldn't take it to your lbs for fitting assistance and servicing?

buying the bike has skint me at the moment and i not sure what the going rate for servicing etc at the bike shop ?
