OK, so I've gone for 48x18 for the time being, ss, and will see how I get on before flipping my flop. Next astonishingly dumb question - punctures: I added some chain tugs to make it easier to get the chain tension just so. Now I'm struggling to work out how/if you can remove the rear wheel without undoing the tugs. You can't move it forwards to release the chain, because tugs. You can't unship the chain from the chainring, because chain tension, and you can't pull the wheel out, because chain. I could carry chain pliers and split the chain, but that's stupid. I could carry a 10mm spanner as well as a 15mm and undo the chain tugs, but that seems to miss the point of having them. Just how dim am I being here?
