Review on ๐Ÿš— Nano Gravel Road Tire - Looking to Buy by Frank Dubey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great tire but I have a bad

later This tire is really difficult to slip on and off the rim due to the tight diameter tolerances that make it tubeless compatible. I've heard that from other reviewers too. But it seems that the pearl is also easy to plant, so after attaching it to this place, everything will probably be clear. Mine showed up today. I've noticed that this tire feels pretty solid compared to other ultralight tires, but that gives me confidence that I'll abuse it on both singletrack and coarse gravel. I worked really hard fitting it with the tube just to test the fit (on my Easton EA70 sl wheelset) and don't you know the profile is wandering around! Somehow during production the center of the tread rotates about 5 to 10 degrees from the center of the tire, about 8 times the tire diameter. So when you spin it, there's a horrible wobble. And believe me, I made sure I didn't have a bead misfit or anything. I had to take a picture because it was visible just by looking at it without rotating it. Then I blew it out and measured the distance from the bead to the edge of the tread on each side of the tire and of course it's a few millimeters less on one side in the part of the tire that wobbles. Too bad I have to send it back. I haven't seen anyone else having this problem in all my online searches so I have to assume it's a coincidence or something. Maybe I'll take the risk and buy another one.
