The wheel removal was a piece of cake although I did have to unbolt the mudguard so that I had enough clearance to remove the wheel. The front axle was also fairly tight - but then that's a good thing I 'spose.
The Heiny has about 10,800kms on it so has lasted very well (much better than the rear did) and I have even kept it in case I should need it at some stage.
The new Mitas was spooned on by the local bike shop and looks suitably chunky - I sense a gravel ride coming up very shortly...
Replacing the front wheel was the just as easy as getting it off although I did remove one brake caliper to make things a little easier.
Gravel here we come!
Nice! Nothing better than a new tire, it means more adventures to come!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Hopefully in the not too distant future...

The K60 seems to be pretty long lived, especially on the front.My first one I pulled last fall after 14K miles and it still looks like it has quite a bit of life left. I may simply put it back on in a couple of months to avoid having to remove the studs from the new one.
ReplyDeleteYes, I got them because of their reputation for long life. I was a little disappointed with the rear only lasting 9,000km though. I doubt the E-07's will last any longer but they are a lot cheaper...
DeleteHave fun breaking in the new shoes!
ReplyDeleteI have....
