How bad are Schwalbe Eddy Current tires to install?

[TCFlowClyde]

I use the third pair of eddy current tires. yes, gravity is generally a problem with schwalbe tires, but it's nothing a person can't put on. I ride the rear eddy with a tanuss insert

Related to EC's sidewall protection in rocks, how well does the rear hold to cuts and slashes?

My Surly DWs 2.8s were a real b$tch to put on my 44mm carbon rim and a full-round Victtoria foam insert, sun heat up and soapy-foam-water barely helped, which I'm replacing with an EC2.8. Not looking forward to Hulking out, so I think I might try Schwalbe easy on lube.

Clocked over 1000 miles on my Eddie .
At least 200 on the road riding to and from my local trails
Soft compound still has loads of life left .

Any sidewall scraps from rocks that you've been able to endure?

All good , I do a very rocky 1000m run that strewn with sharp rocks that sliced a friends max maxxis rear tyre.
No marks or chunks taken out of mine.

I've got one of these NIB in the USA I'd sell for $55 shipped (48 state). It's the 27.5 x 2.6 version.

You end getting the Relay or Siryron? How do you like it?

Hey there, has it been that long since we chatted?

I've happily been on a Relay since 2 April's ago, so 18 months now. Loving it!

I've followed your build here, came out real nice.
