Crappy weather yesterday was a perfect day to get some new Mich P2CT's. Was the first time I took off the wheels and took them to the shop for mounting and balance. Learned alot.... but took a long time and had to drop some cash for some new tools but that will pay off in the long run. Yesterdays learning curve = 9AM to 6PM and $50 bones in tools. 4 trips to the shop (two trips for dumb questions) (why does it cost $25 for a 36mm socket?)

Oh yeah, wheel removal will get quicker man. I can have my rear off and on in probably 5 minutes. It's fun doing bike work yourself. I do all mine except for my valves. I don't have the tools for valves, but will sometime.

As for the $25 socket...I think I got mine at some auto store for $7.99 a few years ago. Front wheel removal I got lucky and a buddy of mine who is an amateur roadracer gave me a free universal front wheel socket made to fit all bikes. Definately a cool little tool.
