Steve, that's the way I change all my tubes, so will stay with that technique! After three days sitting on the rim uninflated, it was *almost *hand-mountable. Not quite but close. I'm hoping that inflated for a few days it'll be fine to install with minimal effort. These sure have a specific installation procedure, that's for sure! They better make me a lot faster :-) I'm sure I'll like them, but a bit wary still re. punctures. The internets are split 50/50 whether they are more or the same resistant as other high performance tires. Will report back on that!
Don, I have Velocity A23 rims. They're a full 23mm wide (Coincidence? I think not!). Joe, I had one of those at one time, bought from Rivendell circa 1995 or so. Didn't like it, in fact it bent on me and was almost unusable. Operator error I presume. As for current installation, my thumbs were plenty sore for a day, but no blood lost!
