Great DIY Kelly.
I got a couple of questions about before changing a tire.
Is it possible to get the rear wheel of, without taking the chain apart? And how do you do that? Do you take the chain adjusters all the way up front for maximum slack?
My previous bike had a chain lock, which was easy to work with. Doesn't look like the Ninja got that, so I am wondering if i need some kind of tools for opening/closing the chain?
Also, do you measure your current thread at the middle of the tire? There are some raised triangles on the side of the tire which point at the green markings in the threads. Is that where you measure or?
I'm wondering because the threads are soon gone at the very middle, but some places they say that the tire is to be changed when the marks(raised triangles) are on line/fluctuating with the tire. In other words, i got 2-3 mm left there. So I am just trying to figure out how quickly i need to look at getting a new tire.
