I am not so black and white in my assessment of products.

for example, the material that Continental uses is excellent- it is tight and doesn’t lose this property over time. It is very durable and looks great for years. It is impervious to moisture and high psi. I found that it would shift around to expose the edges of my rims eyelet corners for the rim I used. Does that mean it is “lousy” - I don’t think so.

perhaps it just was the wrong size for my application. I would hate to write off a product that might be perfect for other people’s needs just because it didn’t work out for me. As a business owner myself I try to be fair to other businesses as online opinions can have rather negative effects.
