I loved the tire but after a flat in the trails and only having a lever from a multitool i wanted to kill my self. Are these tires as difficult to mount on Stans rims?

My sample weighed ~ 475 grams, but was barely 48mm in casing width (on a 25mm rim, @ 40psi, after ~ 3 days). too small for me--sent it back.

They are my 3rd wheel set so I havn't ridden them very much yet. So far, I can say the sidewalls are stiff and the vibration on smooth roads is there.. They seem to hook up pretty well so far, but I haven't had a chance to test them in ugly conditions. One thing I noticed is that compared to all my other tires that I have run tubeless they hold air far and away the best which you would expect for a TNT tire, but it is still impressive.

It is super light, and designed only for tubes. The TNT with a tube would likely ride even stiffer than it does with it just being tubeless. That said, there is no reason you couldn't run a tube in a TNT Barro Race. @ EBsuburban: If I were a tube using guy, I would seek out the Barro Race folder.
