Banks brought this up a while back, so I figured I would call WTB and see if there was any news on the availability of the folding nano's and moto's.
Basically they told me this: They will only be selling wire beaded 29er tires until they get the "bead problems" worked out. They also acknowledged that the "bead problem" is people using them with a notubes type setup.
The worst part of this bad news is that the new 2.35 tire they are scheduled to release in the next few months is a folding bead. Guess what that means? No wide tires for us for a while:-(
They are saying late 2004 for the new, "improved" tires to be released.
Pretty bad news.
Soo, if you have a folding nano or moto and you blow the bead off using a stan's type setup, do us all a favor and DO NOT send it back. You're only adding to the fire.
End rant.
