Review on WTB Nano Light Fast Sidewall by Patrick Nepal

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not very puncture proof.

I wanted to like these tires but they didn't last long. Install 'em tubeless and pump 'em up to 42-44 for gravel and sand-gravel rides on Bay Area coastal trails. Rear tire never closed well, lost 20 pounds overnight. The front tire was fine for a while but had a flat tire in the sidewall after 2 weeks. I resealed them but they only lasted a month before not holding the air at all. Finally throwing in the towel and adding a camera. The rear tire still needs to be pumped up every day - re-capping didn't help in any way against the daily rear tire leaks. In terms of handling, they have great straight line traction, but to be honest they are a little clunky in corners. I want to replace .700 - 40c running on 2019 Specialized Diverge Sport with stock DT Swiss 470db disc wheels.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • I won't say anything
