does anyone know if a 29er mens bike will fit on this rack? The tubes are much thicker than normal bikes.

This is a great rack. We own several Diamondback, Schwin, and Mongoose bikes (road and mountain), and all fit with plenty of room to spare. I don't know for sure about 29ers though.

I believe it should. I have a medium-size Specialized Crosstrail with 29" wheels, and it fits great. I don't know if your specific bike's tubes are thicker, but hopefully this will give you a frame of reference.

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.

As other respondents have mentioned they are adjustable. The rack should fit on just about any bike. I have mine installed on a 29er with 29" x 2.1" Serfas Sheriff tires for dry trail conditions. When the trails get muddy I'll be running 29" x 2.25 CST Ouster tires. So, there is adjustable clearance for big tires/ wheels.

I hav used them on 26 inch wheels. I don't think 20 inch wheels are a great application for these racks, your panniers will be in close contact with the ground. There are other racks that mount higher up, check for TUBUS or OMM OLD MAN MOUNTAIN, they will have more of what you need. Also, these racks are plates, I suggest getting a rack up front that has a crossover support over the wheel, or built one bending metal yourself. Good luck! ^_^

Yes, its a good choice, even if you have a 29er bike it will fit, and whenever you dont want to use it you can fold it and keep it... Hope this answer helps you.

I do not know if it will fit your bike, but I have a unique 29" wheel bike, and the rack is very adaptable/adjustable. The only thing I needed to attach the rack to my bike was 2 of the rubber lined electrical conduit loops/clamps that can be purchased at any home improvement store ($1.89 for both clamps). The rack is very well built/designed, and holds my Pannier bags securely and withstand a lot of weight (have had over 50 lbs in my bags).

Thanks for the reply... A 29er is the diameter of the mountain bike tire - 29".

It has a bit of slack on mine for a thicker tube. if not, you can add a large Zip tie not only to fit it but to secure it from people taking it. I zip tie everything on my bike anyway. I live in NY.

Not sure, sorry... note that there is a weight limit on the rack of 300Lbs so if you did add the bikes it may put you over that limit...

I would say yes. 29ers (maybe even 28s) are probably the best wheel sizes for this particular stand IMO. I have it installed on my Schwinn 29er. Fits great. Although, I wish it were slightly higher, its sufficiently high where it is now.

29er wheels are the same diameter as a road bike's 700c wheels, which fit fine. I have a large frame road bike, with a fixed seat post, and have no problems. Of course you need to remove the pedals, seat, rear deraileur and handlebars. I am guessing that you should be fine, provided the bike frame itself is not unusually large.

Yes it fits on a 29 inch any bike that has a V frame it fits perfect him even if it doesn't have a V frame you can modify it to fit I have one on a Schwinn

it comes with hardware that makes it attach to almost any 26" or 700c bike (it's very large on a small frame), I don't know if it fits a 29er with 2.25" tires & I know it doesn't work for a "fat bike" the tire just won't clear the rack. There's a bracket that makes it fit to either the rails on a seat or to create bosses on a frame that has no rack stay bosses. It is hard to level but, it is HUGE! 4 12 packs of soda with room to spare huge.

sorry not sure what a 29er is but if that is a mountain bike reference, then yes, it holds mountain bikes, side-by-side.

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.

If you mean such as a Cruiser Bike I don't see a problem. I carry a mountain bike and that has fat tires. Hope this helps. You will love this rack.
