The mounting issue is a matter of technique. Once you know how to do it, they aren’t difficult. Key is the side of the tire that’s on first has to be pressed to the center, which is lower than where the tire seats when inflated. If you allow that side of the tire to seat before you get the second side on, it can be extremely difficult.
Same thing taking them off, you have to push in and unseat the offside first.
oh and sorry to interrupt the peeing match, I hadn’t gotten this far reading when I posted. Please carry on
