[Closed] 29'er tubes....PITA

700x40 700x 45

or 26 x 2.1 stretched

- have used them all without batting an eyelid

Any LBS which stocks Trek/Bontrager normally has stock of Bontrager 29er tubes.

continental from the LBS
bontrager from the other one.

not a single 29er tyre or bike between them afaik.

or buy the inner tubes from the internets like the bike 😉

It would help on threads like this if people stated where 'local' was so others in the vicinity could advise.

Generally they're not that hard to come by, although I've found Schrader valve 29er tubes harder to find than Presta.

26" tubes on mine and they work fine.

26" fits fine and there lighter

although I've found Schrader valve 29er tubes harder to find than Presta

I know of none - why on earth would you want Schrader valves though?

26" have been awful for me, why go to the trouble of getting a bike with 29" wheels/forks etc and then use tubes the wrong size, only in dire emergency IMO. Bontrager 29" tubes have been excellent so far

continentals here 😆

Chevin Cycles in Otley & on the internet so local to everyone as they deliver.

The only 29er shop you will ever need 🙂

Edinburgh Bicycle Company always seems to have the Specialised 29er tubes in stock. Velo Ecosse have the Continental 28" ones which work perfectly too.
No problems in Edinburgh then...

@Sam Conti and Schwalbe definitely both do Schrader...because Halo Freedom discs are drilled for Schrader valves.

Also I'm sure there is some science behind why presta > schrader but they both work in my eyes, plus my lezyne mini pump doesn't unscrew the middle bit of Schwalbe schrader valves like it does on the presta ones!

bigsi - Why thank you very much! 😀

Also they're on offer at the moment......

I'd say why would you want presta if your rim are wide enough for schrader valves?

The only advantage of presta is you can deflate them faster. Stupidly fragile design.

26 for me too!

PITA .... Pain in the a@&£!
