shadowchaser-d Posted May 5, 2009 Share I am strugling to get tubeless tires for my 29er rims.....Looks like i will have to import some as the local agents don't seem to have stock. I have tried Conti, Specialized, Kenda, Maxxis.....does anyone know who has stock for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still easily run tubeless with normal folding tyres. Heck you don't even need a conversion kit, the DIY version works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Daemon_ Posted May 5, 2009 Share How on earth did you get the bike to stand upright by its own? aahh with the 29er wheels the bike balance so well it sort of just trackstands on it's own when you leave it... hehehe... Lulu kept the bike up right, let go, I snap a pic and she grabbed the bike before it fell over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

levett Posted May 5, 2009 Share That's the one. The SRAM X7 and X9 FDs have enough clearence but if you trim a X7 or X9 Top pull you get that extra bit of clearence there as well. Kiwi (Wayne) - Can you please post the model numbers (and 'swing type') in terms of 'best fit'.Cheers,Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted May 5, 2009 Share Hi Dave,2009 model Shimano Front Derailleur?s shouldn't need any changes as the design is different to 2008 and earlier as far as the lever arm placement goes. You need a top pull 34.9mm diameter clamp model whatever brand you use. Pics for mods to 2008 and earlier Shimano Front Derailleur?s to increase clearance; SRAM X7 and X9 top pull Front Derailleur?s shouldn't need anything done to them: http://getsatisfaction.com/onone/topics/inbred_29er_front_derailleur http://getsatisfaction.com/onone/topics/tyre_clearance_problem_with_scandal_29er?from=new_topic&utm_medium=topic_search&utm_source=topic_search_onone Shimano 2009Model Number FD-M971 Series XTR Swing Action Down-swing Model Number FD-M771 Series DEORE XT Swing Action Down-swing Model Number FD-M661 Series SLX Swing Action Down-swing Model Number FD-M581A Series DEORE LX Swing Action Down-swing Model Number FD-M531-6 Series DEORE Swing Action Down-swing SRAMX9 Top Pull Series X9 High SRAMX7 Top Pull Series X7 High Kiwi2009-05-05 21:20:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
