Has anyone actually used it for a 29in mountain bike ? I've got a 29 mongoose with it's standard MB tires, will it work ?

Hey I'm not sure... I have a 26 MB but I need to change out the tires to smooth slicks with little to now tread because it makes way too much noise with the mountain tread

My old Diamondback Resonse has 26" x 1.95" knobby tires. I put the bike on the stand with 1 1/2" blocks under the front and rear tires to simulate 29" tires. It gave me about 3/4" clearance at the rear tire and it spun freely. It will probably work on your 29" tires. Hope this helps with your decision!

i would say no.......and yes.......the platform itself is plenty large, but the stabilizers that pivot up to slide onto the tires will be too narrow. They were too narrow for my mountain 29er which does have fairly fat cross country tires(2.2?). However: i was able to expand these stabilizers wider by bending them open to make them 'fit', and now it works fine. You probably could do the same, although you'll have to widen more than i did. i was able to do it by hand(cuz i only needed a little bit more space) but you might have to exert a little more force for the 2.5s. i feel that it would be possible. i would say no.......and yes.......the platform itself is plenty large, but the stabilizers that pivot up to slide onto the tires will be too narrow.

Yes, this product works with all 26 to 27 inch wheeled bikes. The typical knobby mountain tire will produce a significant hum, buzzing, loud noise. I purchased a "bald" tire which eliminated the noise, but changing tire is not convenient unless you exercise more that ride.

I believe that it could work with a 29 inch bike mine was a 26 inch. But you can also call or E-mail the company for more info about it

I would say yes. The clearance between the lowest part of the rack platform and the tire on my bike with 70cm (27.5 inch) tires is 1 3/4 inches. The distance from the wheel hub to the lowest part of the platform is 15.25 inches, so you would still have 3/4 inch of clearance with the 14.5-inch radius of a 29-inch tire... provided that the mounting points for the rack supports on the bike frame are at least the same distance above the hub as mine, which is about 1.5 inches.

I have only traveled with my road bike, which have 700C rims which are essentially 29" wheels so your 29" MTB wheels should fit.

I use one for a 19" Felt 29er full suspension mountain bike. You have to remove the rear derailleur, stem/bars, and fork to make it work. No need to remove the cabling. Just bend it around to make it lay flat. Cover it all with a blanket and rags to prevent scratching and it fits fine and with room to spare for shoes, spare tires, tubes tools etc. Best fitting case for my MTB so far. Thule case comes in second but with all of them you have to remove the fork for a 29er to fit in them.

Absolutely. I have very large mountain bike tires. Works great.I think any tire size or style will work.

when i bought this i had a 26in bike but now i have a 29inch and it works however the nuts are a size larger so it does not exactly fit inside properly. if you tighten it too tight the whole unit spreads out but if you do not tighten it enough the bike will fall out of it.....need some sort of adapter to go from the size nut from a 26inch to the size nut for a 29inch. i wonder if the company has something like this....i do not have the size nuts in front of me so if anyone can help please do

I have a 29er and a racing bike with 700cc tires. Both fit just fine. You need to slide the plastic holders in the best position to get the best fit.

Good day, this would accommodate a 29" bike as long as the downtube of the frame is not atypical. 2.4" wide tires is right on the edge of suitable sizes, but should not be a problem. Thanks!

This bike has mountain tires... 2.5 inch... the 29 inch tires give it a more comfortable ride... for off road I suggest the tubless kit... good luck.

After reading the listing, or going to the website you will find that this wheelset only fits a 9 speed hub. 700c wheelsets are for road going bicycles, and 29er's are used on mountain bike frames designed to use the larger than standard rim. 29er wheelsets are much wider for use with MTB tires, not the standard narrow 700c road tires.

Yes it will. You need to have a tire for the trainer only or buy a bike specifically for the trainer only. I bought a cheap 26" mtb bike from walmart because my 29er doesn't fit on the trainer..

I have disc brakes as well, so this creates even more trouble in finding a rack. I am going to try that one next, but I have a 2013 29er and after 4 orders have yet to find a rack that fits other than seat-post mounted racks, which are limited to 15-25lb.
