Enter to Win A Continental Prize Pack - Pinkbike's Advent Calendar Giveaway
you're definitely referring to the old pre-2018/19 Conti tires. They redesigned all of them and they seat with a floor pump and no sealant now. Also got lighter and much less stiff sidewalls

Consumers Threaten to Boycott Backcountry.com as Retailer Sues Businesses for Using the Term ‘Backcountry’
@arrowheadrush: Totally agree with you on that front. A word like Backcountry is entirely too common to be strictly enforced on small businesses like that. An all-around bad situation, unfortunately.

Consumers Threaten to Boycott Backcountry.com as Retailer Sues Businesses for Using the Term ‘Backcountry’
I can understand both sides of it.
On one hand I understand the need to preserve one's namesake. These days I can see Backcountry coming under fire as sexist/demeaning for being affiliated with something like "Backcountry Babes" or the need to protect their own clothing line branded as Backcountry when another clothing company is starting as Backcountry Denim.
On the other hand, it's never a good look for a large company to sue somebody smaller than them, simply because of how it is perceived from the outside looking in. I don't imagine that Backcountry's goal is to put these companies out of business or create hardship for anybody (hence them reaching agreements), but it is rather detrimental for their image to bring a legal matter to an independent retailer of any kind.

First Ride: Crankbrothers Carbon Synthesis Wheels
@Weens: It sounds (to me) like you have almost no experience with any of the new and current Crankbrothers line. They've completely addressed and owned up to past mistakes and proved their reliability and consistency with the new stuff. For a couple of years now. Open your mind a little, you just might like what you find ;)
