WTB Nano Light Fast Sidewall Review

I've tried different tires to find the perfect one and the Nano is my favourite! I like to push my gravel bike to the limit and have never had a problem. They feel good on the road, but on gravel they feel unstoppable. The clutch is like nothing else and rolls very well. I ride a lot of singletrack that is clearly made for mountain biking, but with these tires I feel like I can beat them all! I like them so much that I bought the brown wall version and the all black version. I run them tubeless

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.

That's when the sealant started spurting out of the side panel. I inflated them to maximum pressure and let them sit overnight. The next day - completely flat. I…

After ten years of mountain bike racing, I realized that you don't need a heavy profile to glide on any surface, and in fact, lightweight and minimalist tires tend to beat anything in the all-condition tire market. I live in western Pennsylvania and ride rough back roads and two lane trails in the woods. My Cannondale Topstone 1 came with 37mm riddlers, which worked fairly well, but I couldn't move very fast in the rough conditions to keep my teeth from chattering. After…
