Has anyone here used these long term? What’s your experience?

I’ve got a pair of Air Liners in my Cadex wheelset. I did not face much difficulty installing therefore keen to understand the issues around removing them… (to be prepared when the time comes!) is it because the sealant makes it difficult to get a proper grip on the liner? or, tyre + liner = tigh…

They’re not that hard IMO, it just takes a little practice. It’s not like Cushcore. Best thing you can do is to pay attention to where your tire bead is sitting. It should be in the drop center, which will give you just enough extra “length” to pull it over the rim.

GP5000s TT in 25c are lighter and have less RR than most tyres which offsets the weight and increased RR of having tyre inserts coupled with the fact that (when rarely happens) I always struggle a ton in changing a tyre / putting an inner tube + in colder winter seasons with gloves ect changing tyre…
