I took my bike to a local shop for a new rear tyre and asked them to change it as well. While I was waiting and partly windowshopping and partly checking from a distance how do they progress on the task, I noticed that in my horror at some time they had removed the rear brake caliber and it was hanging there and looking very heavy and supported only by rear brake tube tied to this thin speed sensor wire I had changed and sealed a few weeks before!!! :shock:
No wonder they break so often!!!
Next time you have your rear tyre changed, tell before the job that this speed sensor wire is a weak spot and the rear caliber has to be supported somehow. "Do Not let it just hang there!"
.
Sadder when you realize that you don't have to remove the brake caliper on the Stelvio to remove the rear wheel. There's plenty of clearance on the swing arm to just slide it forward and clear of the rear brake.
