I don't see any alignment/adjustment options for the rear wheel, and my Clymer manual doesn't show a thing about it.

The bike tracks straight & true on the road, so I'm not worried about it from an alignment perspective.

Can any of the rest of you confirm if it's really that tight on your bikes too? Is this something I should be worried about or am I just paranoid?

Thanks

I wont do cheap cause I'm sick of lousy handling, ride and grip. I want a good highway tire that has good wet weather and road traits. I'm thinking Bridgestone, Conti or Metzler. any particular models or other quality brands I should consider?]]> KBKeller Wheels & Tyres Thu, 31 Aug 2006 13:24:19 -0700 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?34,7130,7130#msg-7130 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?34,7130,7130#msg-7130 william harris Wheels & Tyres Tue, 09 May 2006 10:20:18 -0700 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?34,7124,7124#msg-7124 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?34,7124,7124#msg-7124

I just bought an 83 650 and the back tire needs replacing. I bought the tire but pretty much every shop I call has a huge wait list. If I took the rim off and brought in that and the tire, I can get it done on the same day. I've never had to deal with shaft drive before - how hard is it to take off the back wheel and re-install it? How hard is re-aligning it once it's back on? I've done it on chain drives before, just never shaft drive.

Thanks,

Eric]]> EricC Wheels & Tyres Tue, 02 May 2006 01:26:50 -0700 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?34,5238,5238#msg-5238 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?34,5238,5238#msg-5238 ed Wheels & Tyres Thu, 01 Sep 2005 19:47:19 -0700 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?34,5223,5223#msg-5223 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?34,5223,5223#msg-5223 It is a Dunlop tire.

Finally, I need to replace my battery every two seasons. Does anyone have any thoughts on getting longer life out of it?
