Mets Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Nope With regards to the 26" spares getting harder to source. About three years back on the Sabie I stopped next to a guy with a puncture to offer a spare tube - he had a 29ner and I can remember thinking "sucker" at that time whilst putting away my unused spare - today you might struggle to get a 26" tube during a race.

That's not an issue in either direction. a 26" tube can fit stretch to fit a 29er and a 29" tube can be used with a 26" tyre, yes there'll be a spot where the tube bunches/folds over itself. but once there's air in the tube, it'll expand as far as the tyre will let it.
TK-Sp3cialiSt Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/137811-what-size-wheel-is-on-your-mtb/ I have created a poll with multiple options selectable about ownership of which wheel size, allows for the options many were complaining about in this poll

Yup, I fixed a 29er with my 26" tube

Cois Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 ok, so why do you want to know? why not create a poll? and yes x2I agree with this. Start a poll....And Yes to the question...
patches Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Yes x5 (although 3 of those are bikes where there is either no 29er equivalent, or it would just be a horrible idea. ie. Trials bike, 4X/Jump bike, and DH bike)
