[Closed] wtb Nano's at Planet X

Watching with interest, could do with a spare set!

Nothing wrong with the ones I've been using 😀

There pukka. Ridden mine for a few rides now, they're excellent tyres. Paid 16 for mine at the end of last year mad sale.

Mine seem spot on, in fact I may splash out on another set

They're great apart from weeping incessantly if you're trying to go tubeless. Also, depending where/how you ride, the sidewalls are pretty thin.

They're great apart from weeping incessantly if you're trying to go tubeless.

The P-X ones are the proper "TCS" tubeless version, so that's surprising given that my "Comp" non-tubeless version hold air and don't weep.

WTB do a third version, the lightweight "Race", and I wouldn't be surprised if that was a bit more fragile though.

I wonder if I could squeeze these into my Escapade

I'm wondering if they'd fit my Full Monty, I doubt it though

It's the PX ones I've got... Not an uncommon issue from other posts on here it seems. Still great tyres though if you're running with tubes.

I got a pair recently that I'm running tubeless on an X so they should fit the Escapade. They seem to be the genuine decent article, not a lower spec, and they've gone up tubeless just fine on my Hunt wheels, even with the cheapy latex I got from one of PX's random number sales a few months ago. Tiny bit of weeping around a couple of the moulding hairs but that's been it, they sealed pretty easily just with a track pump as well.

I have a pair from Planet X, running tubeless on an Escapade.

All working well

with the cheapy latex

I use Stan's and I've wondered about putting some cheaper/quicker setting fluid in there to give them a solid seal and then switch back to Stan's again.

I just bought a bottle of the latex cheap in the sale and thought I'd try it out. Lobbed some glitter in as a helper but that's it, seems to work fine.

Running them on a pair of crossmax ust wheels. Easiest tubeless tyre I have every fitted. Went straight up and sealed without issue using stans sealant.

The TCS rating on WTB's is more about the bead than the construction.

TCS has a square bead that is exactly to true UST spec - which is why they can be a PITA on Stans' apparently.

FWIW I love my CrossWolfs and I'm kicking myself I didn't buy more before the price went up for the Cross season last year.

They weren't too bad on a long road ride (Way Of The Roses), but handle all the natural trail stuff around the Dark Peak well enough too. My current fave CX tyre.

For those asking about the Escapade then mine were very tight on stans crest rims. Have taken the paint off the chain stays - I think a combination of wheel flex and not much clearance. There was a rumour that early ones were coming out nearer 45mm so I could have had a pair of those. Have changed to a 35mm Cross Boss for the rear of the Escapade now, Nano front, both TCS versions and just set up tubeless on Hope xc rims relatively easily.

Clearance on the Escapade must be tighter than it is on the X then, I've got loads of space.

Well, I've either just ordered one or three pairs of these (depending on whether their 'opps something went wrong' messages means the orders were placed or not) so hopefully they will fit my Croix de fer and run tubeless.

Are the Nanos as sketchy on wet tarmac as I'm led to believe?

I've got a pair if any wants any for 30 shipped, can do pics tomorrow, email in profile

Nanos are fine on tarmac wet or dry. Not sketchy and not draggy considering their knobbly tread.

Dirty, ygpm

Thanks for the heads up OP. Have been toying between these and Schwalbe X for a while and This has just saved me £££ 😀

Always got on really well with these in 26" flavour - let's hope there's enough clearance in my forks...

Just got a pair, tight to get on crest rims but went up easy and hold pressure well with no sealant in yet. Ride nice too

Typical. I just logged in to buy a pair and they've disappeared from the site.

Snooze/lose etc

*EDIT*
They are still listed on the Planet X site. Huh?

Hmm No notification of dispatch yet and I need them for Saturday 😕

I got the order confirmation on the 25th but nothing so far on dispatch. I assume this is how this company works is it (slow)?

I hope everyone who wanted these for £20, the price they've been for well over a month, got their order in before midnight...

They are now £30 when you go to the product page, despite what the outer page says.

On the plus side, in the new March prices, there are a load of products back at more appealing prices.

Well, if it turns out I have ordered 6 tyres instead of 2 I am happy to sell them at cost plus postage to anyone interested.

I'm interested in a pair
Email in profile.

Ok. Will let you know how many turn up.

Cripes - ordered a pair plus some tubeless spunk at lunchtime yesterday, just had them arrive at my door.

Tyres look great.

Mine have arrived today in time for some weekend adventuring... no email to say they had been dispatched but very good service on the phone

I have three pairs.... 😳

Greedy!! 🙂

Got mine a couple of weeks ago but can't seem to get them to hold air for more than a day or 2 tubeless. Rims are the WTB TCS ones that come with an Escapade and I'm using Stans rim tape and Bonty (bit runny) fluid. Tips?

I had one leaky one, would go flat every few days. I put another scoop of stans in and a half scoop of glitter. It stays up now.

Bought these and it's my first time trying tubeless - for my first time bike build, so I thought why not try.
I've got one sealed and one leaky one. I'll try again with the leaky one, but maybe I need to source some glitter stuff.

My two pairs arrived today from a Friday order. Missed the 20 quid offer by a few hours so rang and asked if they would extend it for me. They did.

They fit my Planet X Full Monty. I'm running tubes and trying to get them straight isn't easy

Re-taped the rims, and changed the milk to 'stans', and both wheels are inflated 🙂

To bloody big for my Pickenflick. Any body want them for my costs?

drlex has just posted on a thread of mine saying he wishes he'd bought some.
[quote=drlex ]Oh, and how were the nanos? Slight regret in not buying them when [s]DFS[/s]Planet X had them reduced.

Ta

Anyone had problems getting these to sit square on the rims? Tried fairy liquid and high pressures to try and pull them straight but they're still not sitting right

To bloody big for my Pickenflick. Any body want them for my costs?

may do, how much?

I can say that they pop onto Pacenti CL25's beautifully. Up with a track pump and stay up without sealant although they do bleed a bit of puff over a week like that.

Well a pair went into a mates Caad x . Anyone fitted them to a London Road?

Turns out they don't fit my Planet X Full Monty 🙁 The rear tyre hits the front mech when it's in the big ring. I'm keeping it on the front though

Interesting, I'm prevaricating over an XLA, if it took nano's I'd think it was ideal. Seem's odd that they'd design two aluminium bikes at the same time, for similar uses, and not use the same fork and seatstays, but apparently they won't fit an XLA.

And that's answered my next question . An XLA was on my hit list.
So what else do they not fit that might be tempting?

^^^ GT Grade.

This is one of my frustrations with the current adventure bike market, they tease us with making proper hydraulic brakes more commonplace than those hybrids and pure cable discs, but many still have frame and fork designs that won't take more than an average 700x35c tyre.

They would fit an Arkose X, as would 40mm Panaracer Gravelking SKs that come in at ~43mm.

And that's answered my next question . An XLA was on my hit list.

They fit the Full Monty in 1x11 guise, which is why I was surprised they don't fit the XLA.

P20, the nano's are snug on the Ful Monty but entirely doable. If you ride it like a mountain bike and rail the crap out of turns you might rub a chainstay, but in normal use, they're fine.

Ive had problems getting them to sit square, but it hit s then cable stop when in the big ring (50t)

the chain stays are 5mm longer on the FM compared to the XLA
