I was just wondering what part of bike maintenance or bike work do you despise the most?

I don't despise it but it seems everything I want to work on requires another special tool be made or bought.

Getting a CRF450 motor back into the frame. Coming out is bad enough, but going back in is like a F'n puzzle sometimes.

But fortunately, Maxxis need only be changed half as much as any other tire.

I was sponsored by them, lost the deal, still bought them, and now sponsored again.

In So. Cal. they work great for our different terrains.

Anything that involves the removal of the sub-frame/air box.

He often changes the one around his hips, but that is easy for him as long as he is switching to a larger size.

same here. Maybe I say that now because I have a case on my work bench right now needs the crank pulled. I have the clutch and stator off, now just to split the case. At least I have a race to listen to today while I curse and swear.

Use an O-ring, D-ring, X-ring, or T-ring...your adjustments will be fewer.

x2. It was a much easier task without a massive aluminum frame in the way.
