Can this rack be used on a 29er with 2.1" tires

no this is a bad pannier, dont buy it, the legs on the pannier will not reach the holes on your front fork, well they didnt with mine, they are only aboyt 6" long, I've still got mine in the box and dont know how to fit it. If you want I'll measure the legs in the morning, and you can see if it'll fit your bike. otherwise its Ok and would probably work with the 2.1" tyres. It the fixing to the forks thats a problem

The rack goes through the tire and does not come in contact with the circumference/ rubber of the tire. I see no reason why it should not functional even with the flat tire mounted.

I have a standard 26" bike but I don't see why a 29er wouldn't fit...the tubes that hold the tires extend out pretty far.

It should the rack can be adjusted to fit. I put this rack on a Trek FX 7.1 with 20 inch tires and have had 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!

It fits on my Trek Wahoo with fat tires. Bontrager 29-1, 29x2.1"Not sure if your tire is bigger than that and I would say that I would not try it on anything much bigger.

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 have not tried, however, the locking arm adjusts very low for a small wheel and the tire tray rotates. So yes, it should. Also, when I purchased this rack in December, I remember seeing a video review on YouTube where it was demonstrated.

My guess is no. Just looking at your bike it seems the rack isn't deep enough to stay off the tire at a functional angle.

My 29" skinny road bike tires fit, no worries about the circumference. Not sure about the width though - It should fit, however, because there is a lot of play on my road tires. The problem with this rack is that there is a gap in the bottom horizontal tube and it flexes way too much. I cut a piece of pvc sprinkler pipe and put in between the two ends and that helped stabilize it a ton.

Hi! Unfortunately this rack will not fit on the bike you are referring to. Thanks.

Fits my Specialized Carve Comp 29er with disc brakes. Topeak does offer an Explorer rack specifically for 29er's but its a bit larger.This fit mine perfectly and is 3 inches shorter (length) than the 29er version.

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)

Yes. It's comes with a converter to a 2" hitch, but the rack itself is built for 1 1/4".

Yes & No! I have a jeep with a 35" spare tire. The rack only fits one bike like this. What I did was to replace the original 2" bar with a longer leingth so I could put two bikes on. You could just but an extension and do the samething but it would add some excess slop in the mount. For the money this was worth it but when no bikes are on it I notice people walk close to the bike tire bracket. Gain I made my new becket pivot so it folds up or down so I can open my back gate. It kinda looks cheap but it does a good job also it's not $400!

I also have a Specialized Hardrock 29er. I just hooked it up and it fits at the bare limit. It very slightly rubs the tire at the mount so I would not use it for a 29er.

I believe it will. These racks have a lot of vertical adjustment and are wide enough for MTB tires.
