• Appreciate all the responses, to clarify I am using the clincher version currently. If I make the switch to tubeless when these die, perhaps I'll consider a different TL tyre in light of comments here.

    I am now quite frightened of the next time I get a puncture on the road, but will definitely keep the feedback people have given here in mind. If anything it will help when my thumbs start bleeding and hands start cramping incontrollably. 'You are not alone'

  • They do loosen up over time to be fair, and the new S TR version is considerably easier to get on.
