I think I'm going to treat myself to a set of tyres and have removed the wheels ready to take to get new ones fitted. Is it save to leave my break discs on and my sprocket on? Don't want any damage from some ape fitting my tyres

Leave the discs on but remove the sprocket and carrier.

Careful with your spacers aswell, you don't wanna loose those. You also wanna know where they went back aswell. And when putting your front wheel back, be careful with your speedo sensor. The little black wheel on the left hand side of the bike if youre sitting on it. You dont want to get the teeth caught and then tighten up as you will break the magnet sensor on the inside and goodbye £20 to get the new part to get a working speedo. Just a little thing I ran into once.
