You may cuss a time or 2 getting them on the 1st time(I know I did...:-)), but it's a small price, they're amazing tires.
I have a bike on order from Bicycle Bananas. I emailed them yesterday and asked if I could upgrade to the Marathon Plus. They said yes...and with a $10 credit for the Kendas (Jamis Commuter 3.0), the price is lower than what I could have gotten them for online. And that's INSTALLED!
