Would a 20" tube be stretched too much to ghetto my 29er wheels or would a 24" tube be better

Also is it true that CO2 breaks down the stans fluid?

no idea on the tube, but I've also heard that CO2 doesn't play nicely with Stans goo. As a precaution, if I inflate the tyre with CO2 to seat it, I'll then deflate it and use the track pump to re-inflate.

I have used 24" tubes successfully, I suspect a 20" might be too small. You could always give it a go...?

Having watched a couple of vids on YouTube, on one of them he struggles to get a 20" on a 26" rim. So probs best to go for the 24" tube.
