Ok, going to have my new tires put on tomorrow and I've never had the front wheel off so far. I know how to do it, but what do you guys use to put through the hole in the axle to keep it from turning? I was planning on sticking a screwdriver in there to hold it to get the axle nut off the other side, or is there something better to use?

 

Why don't you just ride the bike to the bike shop?

 

I use a screwdriver

 

Screwdriver wins hands down. DIY if you can.
