Actually I have the rear wheel off my Supersix once in 2 years. that was to swap the schwalbe one to a Continental gp5000
6 seconds in 2 years?
This speed thru axle is one, amongst many, “innovations” that is of great use to WT pros and nearly worthless to amateurs. Pro racing needs to stop dictating what amateurs use. The only amateurs I could see using this are racers who have neutral support or wheel pits/free laps and value those few seconds. A small segment of the population.
