Gentlefolk;
Really newbie question, because although I have taken off front wheels, I have not taken off a back wheel yet.
In the TdF, I watched the back wheel swapped out in 5 seconds, and I couldn't figure out how this was done...what kept the rear derailleur from clunking on the ground?
How does the rear end work? Does the gear cassette rotate splines on the axle to provide the propulsion? And how DO you take off the back wheel without the derailleur going "clunk"?
Thx!
Don
