Bikes: 2 - 2007 Custom Bike Fridays, 2 - 2009 Bike Friday Pocket 8's, Gravity 29'er SS, 2 - 8-spd Windsor City Bikes, 1973 Raleigh 20 & a 1964 Schwinn Tiger
Yes, they are hard to de-install - tried once without success - but now have some metal core tire levers, so we will see in future.
As far as performance goes - no flats after 2 years on our custom Fridays. Worked well today on about 1/4 mile of dirt and rocks on ride out to Surfer's Point - normally paved bike path is in process of being moved and re-built.
Ours are 1.35" width. Seem fast enough, too.
