PSA: Continental X-King ProTection 29" are 56% off on CRC right now. Just bought me a new pair.
Great tyres, good traction, and lasted me entire 2700 miles of Tour Divide with no punctures and rear had enough tread to do another 500 miles back here afterwards. Front is still going with 4500+ miles on it.
What sealant have you been running with the Contis, @gabes ?
BareNecessities-
They're a bitch to get to seat on UST rims without a compressor or airshot variant I can tell you that much!
Pay day is a a week away and then I'll buy a new pump... -

Never had a problem getting these to seat even with a track pump. If there are any probs, just build up the tape in the middle of the rim a bit so there's less gap when the tyre isn't seated.
*I now own a compressor, and it's fucking awesome. Swap tyres about all the time, cos it's so easy now.
