[#3854453]

I am itiching the itch, i have a 29er arriving in the next few days and thought i better buy a few inner tubes in preparation. was looking on CRC and all i can see are 26" and 28" inner tubes but no 29" inner tubes.

please point me in the right direction, as i am sure it is early and i am missing something.

thanks

Dave

You'll be wanting 700c or 28" tubes.

edit: Something like

Most Trek dealers carry Bontrager 29er tubes

Conti usefully name them MTB28. We have some although not sure they are an on line item for us.

Edit, looks like they are http://www.thebikechain.co.uk/Continental-MTB28x1.75-2.5-29er-Tube-Prest-201112300301/

Fatter 26" ones fit just fine in most 29er tyres.

Try blowing one up without putting it in the tyre and see if it stops at 26", if it doesn't it will fit a 29er fine

that's true, JC, but you're then liable to find (as I have) at the worst possible time that if you then try to repair a puncture and stretch the tube the patch won't stay on...
