I've installed two sets on Campy rims with no problems, only using a quik stik tire lever to help. The hard part is the last few inches. The ride is on the rough side, but dropping the tire pressure by 5-10 psi helps. I'm using them for my winter bike now, but I originally bought them, thinking that the new area where I'm riding might have goatheads and wanted some extra protection. The tires do wear much slower than the Michelin Pro 4 tires that I use most often.
