Yup - on one of the 2, when I finally got them seated and then removed the core to put in sealant (and slowly let the air out, mind you) - when I then went to reinflate with a compressor - mess everywhere and I basically had to start over.
However, holy cow at the moment am I impressed with the performance. Just took them out on a 60 mile, 5000 ft climb ride (Alpine Dam, 7 Sisters for those in SF Bay). Very rainy. Mind bogglingly - 0 cuts in the tires, still. Also rather confidence inspiring traction on the descents.
Net: I need to get my compressor game up to standard because these are really great to ride. I'd say last couple things I haven't figured out are long term wear rate and how the deal with "big hits" - they haven't hit any potholes of note, yet.
