Bit of a random 1, does anyone know if i take the rear discs off will i still be able to rotate the rear wheels once they're back on. As in they wont be rubbing against the inside of the arch or something ?

Don't the wheels bolt to the rear discs, once the discs are off you can't fit the wheels on?? :scratch:

Oh, i thought the wheel bolts went through the discs but screwed into the hub ?

IIRC you have the disc, the wheel bearing pressed in the middle of the disc, which then slides over a stub axle.
