not necessarily... but you may need different sizes for front and rear
i bought 1 cone spanner and held the locknut with a good quality adjustable spanner
but 2 are easier

just take your time .. make a quick drawing of bits in the order they are removed
if you have QR hubs, pay attention to the hints about tightening them, which '' compresses the axle slightly and so tightens the cone a TINY bit ''
don't mix up the ball bearings - replace the same side they came out [ I'm told.!]

I have a subway as well and when i change the cassette i will go for a smaller range , maybe a max of 25 teeth as i never use the small or middle chain rings and less than half the block normally.Mind you i am guilty of grinding ala Chris Horner stylee and will regularly go up hills on the big ring on the roadie.

Oh, really didn't expect that.apparently the chainring doesnt fit right
its 1mm bigger near each hole
You may need to go for the Truvativ rings after all.After the day I've just had, finding out I've given poor advice just finishes it off
. Really sorry about that!it is alright
will chain reaction bicycles accept the ring back if i have opened the plastic wrapping?

They should do. Others on here know far more about the distance selling regulations than I do, but I don't believe having opened the packaging is usually an issue.
