So I'm trying to take off my wheels for the winter to get new tires and replace the chain and sprockets. Being a poor college kid, I don't have a full set of wrenches, and am just planning on buying the sizes i need to get the wheels off. So what size are the bolts to take off both the front and rear wheels? thanks guys.

 

you still need tools to pull the sprockets off, adjust the chain tensioners... You might wanto to invest in some tools.

 

Hope you asked for a tool set for christmas!

 

You can take the back wheel off with two adjustable wrenches and cheap socket set. I would say that's the bare minimum that you will need (the rear brake calipers have to be removed and tied up out of the way). I wish I was at home right now to get you the exact socket sizes.
