Hello,

Can anyone recommend a wheel bag to take 29 x 2.6 inflated tyres?

Thank you

Hope ones will probably work. I've had a 2.6 Conti Argotal in mine.

I just bought a double wheel bag from Planet X as all the reviews says it will take two big wheels. I've only tested it with one so far which did fit

The planet x selcof one is spot on for the money. Fits my 2.5 & 2.6 29er boost combo fine and feels robust enough for the job.

A timely post as I had been also been after a set.  The Selcof ones aren't in stock and there are loads available on Amazon/ebay which all suggest they can take the afore mentioned big & chunky 29er but rela world feed back is always good to have.

Challenge Tires Double Wheel Bag

Takes 4 wheels with CX tyres fitted so would be no issues with 2 wheels.

This wheel bag fits my 29”, 30mm rim wheel with 2.6 Magic Mary and no need to deflate tyre. Great quality and superb price.

I have some CRC ones which are pretty roomy and I’m after another set but they are out of stock so I ordered some Hope ones from Merlin. Cheers for the link 🙂 . Arrive tomorrow I think. I did have some Prime ones from Wiggle but although they are lovely and plush inside they’re a little snug with 700c wheels, 12sp cassette and inflated 30mm tyres on.

I went for the Hope ones from Merlin.

Fit a 29x2.6 Bontranger SE5 and I'm quietly hopeful my 29x2.5 vigilante will squeeze in although I haven't tried it yet.

They are slightly better padded but not quite as stiff as the CRC ones. They are however, much bigger.

Thanks again.
