The rear tire install was not fun at all . Unless there’s something I didn’t do right. Me and my friend Roger had to remove the rotor to get the rear wheel off and back on .

Non destination rides when camping are the best. I've run into problems when using the same philosophy and looking for a motel. That was back before cell phones and the internet. I'm sure in todays environment it would be a non issue.

You must have done something wrong. On a bike that hasn't been modified somehow the rotor does not have to be removed to get the rear wheel off/on.
