Posted in another thread re impending brake pad change. I’m also going with new tyres (AT41 ordered). I’ll take the wheels in loose and I’ll change the pads whilst the wheels are off. My question though , in anticipation of working on the bike I’ve gone over all the nuts and bolts involved today , making sure I’ve got the tools and nothing was seized. In doing so I’ve removed a hugger , drive shaft and rear brake protector (smoto stuff). My riding is predominately road , it feels like all these after market items just make service work more complicated , what do you think ? For now whilst I’m waiting on tyres I’ve left it all off.
