It’s easy if you know what you are doing. Some rims come with plastic rings around the barrel when they are shipped. I’ll keep that on there or leave the plastic on while mounting them. Removal is usually easier since the tires will come right off. When breaking the bead just add lube when the shovel head pops the bead of the tire. The hardest part is getting the clamps on the outside of the front of the wheel while facing down. You slowly position the wheel right at the clamps and have to push the center of the wheel down to expose the lip and clamp the wheel at the same time. If you miss you are pinching your tire or scratching the wheel.

All of my pro touring friends in DFW I help personally. FYI I’m a district manager for NTB in the Dallas area
