does this bike rack hold 29 inch mountain bikes?

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.

I have two 29s that I put in this rack. It workss best if you load them with the back tire in the rack, side by side, and then use a strap to keep them from rocking too much. Without that, , the bikes will tip. With the strap, works like a charm.

I don't know what a MTB 29 is. What I can tell you is that the hitch attachment simply attaches to the rear axle bolt of pretty much any bike.I am using it with a 27" Fuji bike that has center pull caliper brakes, and it works just fine.

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.

If it is a 29r it should fit if not you may have to rig something. I have yet to put my road bike in it.

You can order one specificly for your 29".But,I requested the 26" for my mountain bike.They have 3 sizes.You"ll really like them. Good luck.

i also have found that the frame of the rack will flex somewhat.I have mountes racks on a mongoose 29er, my wife's schwinn beach cruiser and also her mongoose 26 inch as to theactual dimension it is somewhere about 5-6''

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.

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 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.

I have not personally tried, but when I was reading reviews before I bought my trainer some other people said that they had set up a standard mountain bike but that 29ers were problematic due to different wheel size. Try the CycleOps webpage and use their Tech support questions line.

I don't see why it wouldn't work as flawlessly for your 29er as it does for my Cannondale xs800.

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

Yes, I have my 29'er hanging from this rack. It's a nice product, very happy with it.

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

I managed to fit a 29er in the bag but I had to remove the pedals / seat / forks and handlebars!It will fit a 26" but I dont know how much you would need to strip it down. If it was a road bike it would fit in much easier. You need to pack around the frame to avoid the wheels damaging the paintwork.

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