Some combos are just murder. I've got one particular wheel where the CC Pro isn't coming off without cutting. Ever. DHR DH on a WTB cheapo i29 assym rim. All my others have been somewhere between easy-peasy and doable. I have the buttplug and all the other tools, and fairly strong hands from trail building.
_\* I should try a heat gun on it. Wheel needs to be re-taped._
I'm kind of going away from inserts lately on all but my park/shuttle wheelset that doesn't get much use. Just running tougher casings and calling it good. Yeah, inserts are nicer, but they don't change my place in the pecking order.
