I've heard horror stories about the GP5000 TL (tubeless); like so hard to mount that bike shops weren't able to get them on some wheels. I think the newer tubeless GP 5000 TR is supposed to be an improvement? Anyway, I have put the clinchers on that wheel and they seem to be pretty easy to get on, which was a concern of mine with the wheels.

Yep, good point, I should have referenced I was only discussing the tubeless version of the 5k's
