I would like to buy this AND a new wheel for my 26" MTB--would any 26" wheel work or do I need a special wheel?

You should be able to use any standard MTB wheel with a gear set that is consistent with your regular outdoor MTB wheel.

Hey Kevin, your local bike shop should have tubes. Just tell them the wheel size and type of tube you want. Also, if you know the exact sizing, target sells tubes as well.

All depends if your cruiser has lugs for mounting fenders on the frame. Those lugs are holes on top and threaded holes on the bottom of the fork in front and on the chain stay in the rear. Cruisers should be fitted for after-market fender mounting, but in case of doubt ask a bike shop or someone who has knowledge of those things. And yes, they'll fit 26" wheels with standard or MTB tires. If you have over sized tires (=very fat "Beach Cruiser tires") on your bike there might be some issues with the clearance, tough.

I am not sure for a 26" bike, but these wheels helped my wife (135+ pounds) who was also learning for the first time.

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

Hello and thank you for this information. Our trainers are designed to work with most bicycles that have a 26" - 28" or 700cc wheel. Thank you.

I'm older than 29, but it works for me. j/k, unfamiliar with the term 29er. I have a 19" frame Specialized Rock Hopper. 26" wheels?

Ginger: The MAIN thing you need to be concerned with is if the post to hold the stand will fit your frame, not the distance between the legs! I have seen and installed many of these types of k-stands and it ALWAYS WROKS. Don't know what size wheel bike you have, but I have 26" wheels. The stand comes sized for a 27+" wheel so in most cases you will need to take an inch or so of each leg to make for a sturdy k-stand. I run a 26" Hybrid so I sawed off about a 1/2" each leg then replaced the rubber pads. No sweat 5 minitues with a hacksaw and you are good to go!. After my modification the distance between each leg in My caee came out to be about 7-3/4" center to center if that helps. I run dual painiers and the stock k-stand just would not do. Overall I'm very harry with my puchase!

The defender M1/M2 will fit any MTB with 26" wheels. There is a QR Fork Attachment that fits 19.6~26 mm & 27.7~35 mm. A attachment comes in multiple pieces which makes it fully adjustable to almost any 26" wheel. With that being said...the M1/M2 will fit your 26" wheels MTB. Warning...there is a separate defender available for 29" wheels, so if make sure you have 26" wheels and you should be good to go.

I use mine on a Trek Shift 3 with 26" wheels and it works normal for me.For the Trek Shift 3 I would get another stand that works better with the frame.Evidently the Trek Shift 3's frame is not as round and the stand is made for more round in the area of installation.I was able to get it on, but the screws don't go far enough for me to happy with and I don't like having the stand so tight on the frame.Once these go, which will probably be yearsssssss, I'm getting one made properly for the Shift 3 frame design.

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.

Look at the side walls of your bikes current tires. If its 26" wheel then they will work just fine. For the price its a nice tire.

By the way this is for 9mm axle only on a 26" tire.Hi Roberto,Yes. It will fit on your bike. The steerer tube diameter is 1 1/8 inches which matches your frame tube size. You have to watch out on your front wheel hub axle specification (9mm, 15mm, 20mm etc...) though and make sure it matches too. I am enjoying my ride so far with this fork (adjusted to 140mm). Good luck bro and enjoy your ride as well!

No because the motor comes already built into a 26" rim. You could take it to a good bike shop and have it rebuilt into your rim. Probably cost about $100 for labor and new spokes.

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.

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.
