KK Posted June 18, 2020 Share I have recently bought the Specialized MTB XC box and am struggling to fit my inner tube inside. Do you guys perhaps know where I can get a smaller size 29 inch inner tube? Thanks! Oufy MTB (Roadie) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted June 18, 2020 Share Get a specialized tube... They're thinner walled and roll up much smaller. You can also, at a stretch, use a 26inch tube in a 29 wheel to get you home. Most expensive alternative is the tubolito tubes, but at nearly 600 bones it's a bit of a ballache. Myth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBK Posted June 18, 2020 Share Yup as per previous post, you have to get the Spez tube to fit into the SWAT box... it rolls up smaller than standard tubes but also comes sealed in plastic with powder to keep it dry. Fits perfect and 'keeps fresh'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK Posted June 18, 2020 Share Thanks! Went to a local spaz shop, who said they don't sell them, and that people just use normal tubes. Managed to find a specialized tube at revolution cycles in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milosh Posted June 18, 2020 Share Tubolito was R480 at LBS , leaves space for other spares and is stronger than normal tubes , good investment I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I land up giving away 9 out of 10 tubes that i buy when out on the trails. I'd be proper hesitant to do so with a R500 tube... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
