I had a scare with the rear tire that turned out to be nothing. Is changing the rear tire as difficult as it looks (any good videos or guides anyone has found)? Is it worth using/injecting some sealant preventatively?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have changed my rear tire. It is not a user friendly task and I carry a small jack, a tire plug kit and a compressor while on the road. I'm not a fan of sealant goo because of the mess it leaves when you do a tire change.

Not a great job to do at the side of the road

If you replace the rear brake bleed screw with a "Speed Bleeder" type bleed screw, it makes bleeding the rear brake much easier afterwards.

Great idea - I can see various sizes on ebay - do you happen to know which size fits ?

8mm comes to mind but please check first. I had a number of
both metric and SAE left over from other projects and "one" of them fit.
