[quote="Sylv"]Nice bike!

ta! all done now. my first full bike build. just going out on it now for a quick spin, more pictures soon!

has anyone got any tips/trick on how you swap rear wheels with horizontal drop outs without getting covered in oil (and removing all the skin off your knuckles)?

i've got the same issue on my tt bike - found that having the cassette on the smallest cog, and removing the skewer beforehand, helps. also you need to de-tension the rear mech manually to allow the chain to unwrap the cog
