Morning all

A group of us are planning a day trip to BPW and I'm keen to maximise my time there by booking the uplift. The issue is I ride a 29x3 and the site says that 2.75 is the maximum.

Question is has anyone done the uplift on a 29+ and if so did you have to do anything special to get your bike to fit?

Thank in advance

I am fairly sure a friend has done the uplift with a 29x3 on the front.ย  But the rear was a 2.3 ish 27.5.ย  If you are running low pressures, a tyre will squish in OK one would think.

I was there about a year back with a friend on a Stache. there was a single rack at the front of the trailer that would take the 3.0 tyres. Wasn't a problem as no one else was riding those tyres on that day!

The first two bike slots on the rack at the front (one either side) will take 3in tyres, none of the other slots will take a tyre over 2.75

BPW don't advertise this, i presume to put off lots of people turning up with 3in tyres and then not being able to all get on the uplift vans
