I can only imagine that now that they have been on and inflated for a month+ through some temp cycles, that they would be manageable in the event a roadside repair was necessary.
Thanks, good to hear that. I'll have to give mine a dismount/remount cycle in a few days. I could mount 4000s with thumbs alone and it would be nice to mount the 5000s with one lever.
