Hair dryer to loosen the adhesive then some orange juice from a real orange to clean off the residue.

Or a heat gun and usually the glue from the tape just peels off.

Been using them for 3 tire changes now. They work well for me. I clear the valve stem with a pipe cleaner, put a little air in the tire and tap the stem as I slowly pour them in. Bike is smooth at all speeds.

If you have painted alloy wheels a heat gun will burn the paint of.

So far it is working great with the balancing, hope I don't have to test the puncture feature. Be safe out there! Still have beads in my other bikes.

I'm currently using beads but have some Ride-On on the shelf to try at some point. You may never know if you have "tested the puncture feature" until you replace the tire and look at it from the inside.
