Don't tell my mrs but I bought a Giant TCR Advanced 1 today, can't wait to take it for a blast.
Not having a gear cable to unhook ought to make wheel removal easier.
The axle nuts on my Alfine 11 need to be nipped up fairly tight to stop them coming undone.
My advice would be to buy - and carry - a proper 15mm spanner.
Buying a set is better value, but if you have no use for the others an individual one from Halfords will do the job:

how easy is it to remove the wheel? Looks abit tricky...
Want to change the tyres.

Difficult to see from the pics, but does it have horizontal drop-outs?
If so, you will have to slacken those inwards to demount the chain.
The Alfine 11 can be surprisingly picky about chain tension, so try to put the chain it back tensioned roughly how it was.
