Hi guys, I'm just getting my first track bike (see Beginer's Track bike thread, prob get the Raceline) and was wondering about transporting it. I use roofracks for my road bikes where the forks are locked in via a quick release skewer and the rear wheel fits in a trough. Is the front wheel hub spacing the same on track bikes? Also, obviously the track bikes don't have quick release skewers and I'll need a spanner (or 2??) to release/tighten the front wheel. What size would this/these spanner be? If, for some reason I can't put it on the roof I should be able to take BOTH wheels off and sit it on the back seat but clearly that will be a hassle.
Sorry for the stupid questions but I'm hoping to pick up the bike from the shop on Thursday and go straight on to Dunc Gray to ride it, so I'm trying to anticipate all the things I'll need to take from home in order to set it up. Apart from pedals and my kit, is there anything else I may have overlooked?
Thanks for the help.
