I don't know; I haven't flatted yet (knock wood). But as long as I have a 15mm wrench and a flat-bladed screwdriver, the rest is minor. On the front, you gently disconnect the dyno wire (screwdriver helps), compress the (drum) brake caliper and pop the cable off (again screwdriver can help pry off a tightly fitting cable); on the rear, same for the brake cable, and disconnecting the gear cable is a cinch. The non-turn washers can sometimes be stubborn, but the screwdriver (aka "the convincer") takes care of that. I'll take a wild guess that it may add an additional minute or two to each wheel when removing, and the same when connecting. Well worth the extra effort, though.
