Jacques Lotriet Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Hi, any advice on using a 26er tube as a spare for a tubeless 29er during stage races?
The MTBer Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 They say you can use a 26" tube in a 29er in emergency. I would fix the flat after the stage and remove the tube.
King_Crispy Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 It works.I've used it before and it's fine
Flowta Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Yes, it works just fine. Have also done the other way round
BarHugger Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 ......and less weight............less pumping to inflate............less sharing of spare kit............more compact...........cheaper......
rvdm1 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Have to agree, should work fine. If you have ever inflated a tube outside of a tire you would have seen that it can expand quite a lot. It's probably going to have a slightly higher chance of puncturing as the walls would be thinner because it is stretched, I would only recommend it in an emergency.
