However, from reading reviews on the web there seems to be great variability in how easy (or not) it is to fit tyres. For example, if you look at reviews for the Conti GP5000 TL tyres some people say they went on easy, others describes hours of toiling to get them on. Same with the Schwalbe One tubeless tyres.

This suggests that the ease of fitting might be dependent on the combination of wheel and tyre. As such, anyone out there got any recommendations on a good match in terms of wheels and tubeless tyres?
