The Reynolds SLGs, even though they were clincher-tubeless ready was a headache when it came down to installing either clincher or tubeless tires. Even with the used Schwalbe One Evo clincher tires I had on the Archetypes, it was a mission getting those on. I decided to go tubeless, got the Schwalbe Pro One tires and they were just as difficult mounting the tires on. I almost wanted to sell the wheelset and go back to riding tubulars.
It gets easier. I have Assault SLG Discs and I struggled with the first couple installs (REALLY struggled with removing a couple of sets of tires early on - damn near got to the point where I was going to cut them off in frustration). The last couple installs have been easy, though... like, so easy that I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
