EPIC FAIL.... ;D ;D ;D
There's no real secret to this job, just a bit of technique and patience, and making everything as easy for yourself as you can. Don't buy a paddock stand that heaves your rear wheel six inches off the floor, it only needs to be clear of the deck so it can move freely. Make sure your rear brake pistons and pads are pushed back into the caliper so they don't snag the disc on the way in, and support the tyre with your foot so you can have one hand free. Sometimes they go straight back in, and sometimes they don't and you have to persist. **** happens.
Race bikes on the other hand, are brilliant, especially endurance racers - captive spacers, captive calipers, captive thread for the spindle.. bliss
