Also you shouldn't do it on any sort of uneven or sloped surface.
Why didn't I think of that. When I was changing winter/summer wheels over, I looked on youtube and everybody seemed to recommend jacking up the rear until the front was clear of the stand. Lesson learned.

There's not much of a slope, 10cm - 15cm over 3 metres - had nowhere else to do it unfortunately.
