I removed the tubes and went tubeless and yesterday replaced my tyres all without removing the bontrager tape. It's tricky but doable by hand.
You need to grab the bulk of the tyre with 2 hands and drag the last section over the rim - don't try and push it bit by bit with your thumbs but drag...
Who inspected the failed knock block components? What is to suggest there is not material or manufacturing defect in the failed components?

I attempted some steep, slippery and narrow steps - the kind where a wood board is staked down vertically to trap mud into a staircase in a steep bank. Walk mode was a pain, the bike was always either ahead of me or behind constantly throwing me off balance. Halfway up I picked up the bike and...
