Hi everyone,

I've been running tubeless 29+ for a while now. As the time has come to fine-tune my gear for TD, I'm wondering if 29+ riders generally take a regular 29er tube as backup or a 29+ specific tube (e.g. Surly)?

Thanks in advance.

I pack a 29r tube, something in the 2.3-2.4 range.

I run a regular 29er tube in 29+ all the time. I use one bike for everything so I swap tires quite a bit. It has never given me any trouble.

Another vote for a 29er tube. Smaller and lighter than a 29+ tube.

I'm a little late to the dance but another vote for standard 29er tubes.  I just mounted 29x3 Panaracer FatBNimble tires and used tubes that went up to 2.5".  I tried to order legit 29+ tubes from the LBS but they flubbed the order so I decided to give the biggest standard tubes a try.  The guy commented that the Trek 29+ bikes came with the standard tubes he was handing me.  They are much easier to find and are around 50% cheaper than a dedicated 29x3 tube.
