Do you find it either works first time and you fit the wheel in 2 minutes or it's a complete c**t waffle and takes 20 minutes, 3 broken fingers, 4 missing knuckles and multiples cramps to get it in..?

Yes all of the above, I hate changing wheels!

I used to have a block of wood that was exactly the right height for my Daytona on my old paddock stands. I could roll the wheel onto it while holding the spacers and calliper.

A belated Crimbo pressie from Mrs Gee, a certain box set that at one point may refer to relinquishing some hardware, but retaining something tasty.

I know what I'll be watching at the weekend!

In your defense.. the 4K TV and Home Cinema benefits both of you whereas a hoover only benefits her as I'm sure you couldn't really care if the floor doesn't get hoovered (wasntme)

This is my 3rd one, I only bought my 1st one for track days but I like it that much I wear it all the time so thought id get a new one. I have a slightly smaller one for the kids when I take them on the back of the multi, which isn't very often :(
