This is really good news! Part of the reason I wanted to explore switching to 26 wheels was that my 700c bike doesn't have clearance for 29'er tires and the nano was a tire of particular interest. I think they will sell a lot of these 40mm Nanos. Now I'm sold on the 26 wheel size

Do the Nanos measure true to stated size? IIRC my AllTerrainasarus measued a bit small. But even if 38mm, a good alternative if you want something a touch more agressive than MSOs but still good on the road. These have me pretty excited. If they can handle high pressure, I'd put them on my

the 2.1 Nano's measure at about 49-50mm depending on rim width. The gravel bike thing is churning out a few interesting tires. A good thing IMO. ~mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and

Knard 41s are on my short list. Nice backup those Nanoraptors, might even be a better bet on the Simpleone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to
