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.
Yup. Couldn't agree more with you. The wife has Assaults and it was BRUTAL getting the tyres on. I don't know how many times I had take five and walk away. I eventually managed to the tyres on but how I did it (besides brute force) I'm not entire certain. I'm dreading the day when she flats and I need to change the tube.
