I have a cheap, no-name mountain bike that I've put road tires on as my first step back to biking after many years away. I like riding this bike, even though it weighs a ton, and since I'm just getting back to riding, I'm not really willing to buy a more expensive (read: better quality) bike.
So my question is this: how difficult is it to change the wheel hubs to have quick releases? It's damn inconvenient to have to break out the wrench just to take the wheels off, even though I haven't had to do it more than a time or two. I'm just wondering whether it's worth the effort (and $$, if I can't do it myself).
Thanks,
Patty
