Would this work with a 29er? All I see is that you must have 25" wheels, but what about the larger wheels of a 29er? Has anyone done it?

Yes it works great. I have a Trek 29er and I use this to connect to my daughter's bike with no problems.

I used this on my 700c wheels, Each roll had enough for the 700c wheel, with a little left over-about 2 inches. 700c and 29ers are about the same I believe: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/29er_(bicycle). Good luck!

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! ^_^

The first thing the instructions say is that it is not designed for 29inch bikes. It does looks like if you angled it back more (meaning having the back bars not flush with the bed of the truck) it should hold a 29er. BTW, I put a 2.8 downhill MTB tire in it. A bit of a squeeze but it fit.

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.

Yes, it should work with the 29" wheel. There are many settings for different sized wheels.

I installed on a 26 " Schwinn looks like it will fit a 29 " may have to do some fabricating, I did on my Schwinn.

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. (Also been sent the wrong item twice)

I do not think these will fit a 29" rim, as they are designed for a 700{mm?} rim.I thought I would hate this tire size, but I grew to love it. My commute took place mostly on pavement, but at the very beginning (or end on the way home) I cross a vacant lot with unmowed grass. I remember from my youth (before mountain bikes were available) how much road tires SUCK on lawns, so I had been using bikes with 26" wheels and off-road tires. But the 700x40 tire is only slightly narrower than the tires on old 1-speed (and 3-speed) bikes, and does well off pavement.If you are planning on doing a significant amount of riding off-road, though, then you probably want something else.

Most likely. It works fine with my Superlight 29er with disc, and while a little tight near the caliper, my father's Camber 29er with discs fits fine as well. It's a nice rack and I've been very happy with it. YMMV.

We have three bikes with 26" tires. We haven't put a 29" on there but don't see why not. This is a great bike rack!

I looked at a picture of your bike and don't think you would have any problems at all. I have a Felt 9 trail 29er and it works great!

I suspect it will. .. The hitch bracket is made in two sections, making the width adjustable.... I doubt it would be a good fit on a 29er fattie though....

I have put mountain bikes with 26 inch wheels in the rack. I can't imagine why it would work with 24 inch. It adjusts to fit 29 inch wheels. It's a great rack.

The handle bars would be low. As long as you dont mind bending forward the rest would work. Otherwise, i recommend you get one of the new 29" wheel bikes. Cheers

Update: Someone else took a look at the type of bike you have and he says it might be a tight fit. If you have 26" wheels it may work.Pictures are still trying to load - with the yardstick.

Robert, the bicycle pictured in the Sunlite ad appears to have wheels in the 24 inch range looking at the adjustment bolt placement. Shouldn't have any installation problems if your frame and gear changing mechanisms are similar. I would guess tipover at speed in turns with taller wheels would also be a concern. Can't answer that as I jury rigged a set to work with 16 inch wheels for my grandson,not very tall at all. Ed
