Cracked it :yup: Got my longest 22mm ring spanner and jumped up and down on it until it went. Sounded like a gun going off when it went :shock:

Right, that's the back wheel done. Quick rehydration break and I'll have a go at mangling the front one :P

Just a question on the how to notes Pash. You say to loosen off the chain tensioner, is that only with the fs one, cos I didn't find it necessary :?:

I allso realised that I couldn't use the torque wrench on the pinch bolt or the brake mountins cos I don't have any socket head Allen keys :P

You need to give the belt as much slack as possible to avoid twisting it and shortening it's life. Maybe you don't need to do it, but I like to be a bit careful...

Glad you got it fixed up an I hope you put more copa slip on all the mating surfaces as aswell as the threads...

Job done, and the BT016s seem very good so far :P

Thanks for the "How to" section Pash :yup:

PS - I lost 2 Kg's in weight doing that. Currently drinking a LOT of water :P

Cut a length off the key and put a socket on it.

I thought of that, but the effort involved would have lost me another 2kgs in weight :P
