From what I gathered from this thread the two main things I should be concerned with is rim tape to prevent flats from the spokes. Removing and reinstalling the tire will be difficult so I will order a tire bead jack. The second concern is the lack of grease in the wheel hubs, headset, and bottom bracket.
I emailed bikesdirect about the lack of bearing grease on the Nano. They replied that it was not an issue anymore. Not sure if I should believe this, but at the same time, it's not entirely unreasonable to think they decided to start greasing more generously based on 9 years of complaints about it. Can anyone confirm with the newest release of Nanos?
Tires weren't as bad to remove as I was expecting. I used regular levers for the most part, but I ordered the jack as well so I tried it out. It does make the job easier
I can say forsure I had a decent amount of grease onmy headset bearings, I havent got to the point of checking hubs and bb threads
We have had a blast on these nanos so far
