So a question for some mechanically minded forumgers.
My scooter failed its MOT because of a warped front wheel - i have got a new wheel off eBay, the garage wont a fair bit to swap it over, but i reckon I can do it myself.
I need to take out the old wheel, take the disc off it, put it on the new wheel, and then slot it all back together. The new wheel has a tire, so don't need to worry about that. Not too worried about the wheel change, more the brake - plenty of experience with MTB Disc brakes, and it looks just like a bigger version to me - is this something i should attempt, or leave it to the shop?
