Someone may have already commented on this, but I couldn't find a post dealing with reinstalling the axle on the 700X after wheel removal.
I've now gone through 4 sets of tires and have been doing something the last two times that has made reinstalling the axle much easier. The axle adjusters won't stay in place and tend to fall out about the time you get the wheel in position to push the axle into the swing-arm. Now that I've started putting some masking tape over the adjusters they will stay in the end of the swing-arm and make inserting the axle much easier.
Just a little tip that I hope will make someone else's job a little easier too.
