29er tubes and tires
Hello to all. I just purchased a 29er and am looking to get some good tubes and more street friendly tires (less rolling resistance). I am having trouble locating these for the 29" wheelset. Anybody have any advice on what to get and where to get it?
Thank you IcyHot  |

Re: 29er tubes and tires
I had a 29er for a while, the rims were 622x19 (19mm measured internally). I used Conti City Contact Tyres in 700x32, although Sport Contact 700x28s would have been faster.
 For tubes, Conti Tour 700 Slim for 28-32mm, Tour 700 All for 32mm and above.

Re: 29er tubes and tires
Thanks George, that is a lot of help. The wheels are 622x18. I think I am going to go with a wider 700x42 tire so it doesn't look too funny. The tires coming off are 29x2.25, big ol' beasts.
What do you think of these? http://www.biketiresdirect.com/prod...17760&c=3221806 |

Re: 29er tubes and tires
Excellent tyre, they will be very comfortable, but for me too much wind resistance, I prefer under 35mm.
I am setting up a bike (14" Giant Upland) for a short lady next week, she is getting Conti City Contact 26x1.5 on 19mm rims, they look really nice and in good proportion to the frame and wheel.
