Just tried the dope method of tensioning rear wheel after tyre change etc, shown off by mikec on the Southend ride last week, whilst changing a tyre under pressure (corny take note, he took about three minutes). Ha, I love a trick. i always hate resetting rear wheels, but this is easy peasy lemon squeezy.
For those that missed it:
Sit on floor, and engage pedals with your feet (those with short legs may not be able to use this method i guess ... no I'm not gonna say anybody's a shorty at this point) whilst pulling/centreing your wheel, do up tracknuts.
i believe the expression is 'brapp!!'
