Dont you just need 700c innertubes in the appropriate width?  Thats all 29er wheels are anyway isnt it, just 700c rims with chunky tyres?

I thought exactly the same thing, but then i see that there are specific MTB 29" tubes, which confused me... Im running 2.1 tyres.

QuoteThe 29er is a mountain bike that has a larger rim than your traditional mountain bike does. A traditional mountain bike has a 26? (approximately) diameter wheel.   A 29er has a 29" (approximately) diameter wheel. A 29er uses the same size rims as a common road bike, usually referred to as 700c.

From twentyniner.net.  Id guess either would work.  Could always whip out a tape measure and see which looks closest?

Its a toob, they stretch, get something with the proper valve thats close and stop worrying. Heck, Ive got a 27"x1 1/4" tube in the Brodies rear 700x37 tire. Pump pump...fits fine.Tis rubber after all. :lol:

Some 700x38 or 42mm ones meant for touring bikes should stretch to fit just fine.

for anyone remotely interested, FisherOutdoor is the place to look - they stock the Schwalbe tubes, which is nice - just ordered a job lot.

MX?

anyhoo, i went to the bike shop in town and got a speccy 700c tube and it seems to be ok - should be reet for getting me home and the beading on the 2.1 WTBs is much, much easier to deal with than those bloody welded on Armadilos...  8)

Yep :D

It has got some Rock-Ard Race Face XC cranks and seatpost, but only because the DH stuff doesnt share the lifetime warrenty anymore.
