Removing rear wheel (road/stirrup brakes and full chaincase)
This might be the wrong crowd 
but does anyone have any tips on removing the rear wheel from a bike which has road & stirrup brakes, a full chaincase, and a Sturmey Archer three speed hub gears? Need to patch a hole in the tube, and have no experience of doing that without taking the wheel off...

Just noticed you need the next page too !
Thanks, hirsute. I'll watch the video Chris has linked above, and then decide how brave I feel!
I've also got an old Superbe, you don't need to remove the whole chainguard there's a removable section at the rear to allow wheel removal. I've also read(Although not done it myself) of mechanics just undoing one wheel nut and spreading the frame to remove the tyre.
I'll have a look, thanks. TBH having watched a couple of videos and read the blog post that Chris has linked upthread, I think I'll have a go at patching the tyre without removing the wheel. At the weekend, in case all goes pear-shaped...
