It is going to suck.The kit I ordered worked well but I had to boil the stripper to make the old Caswell break loose. If it is Kreem it may come put easier. If nothing else since you want to save the paint, order the paint protector. Mechanical fingers are your friend for pulling the sheets of sealant out through the fill hole. Patience is the key.
I figured this was going to be a crappy and tedious job. Not looking forward to it. I'll get some of the protector stuff first. Caswell and Kreem both offer it.

I'm going to have to wait until it warms up a bit to do this because it's been super foggy here, only about 60F and over 90% humidity. One of them says not to apply below 70F and with how damp it is here nothing's going to dry.
poor baby. only 60 in min December? How do you deal with it?

I'm sure they are junk and likely not going to fit and will not look like that but, wow, love they way they look in the photo.

No not the bike weight. The rims sure seem light BUT, when I weighed the wheels agents stock with AVONs weight was the same.
I am told the continental classic are heaver.
