Sweet, 29" wheels fit my FFRR !

Gotcha! Laughing Not what you thought, right! Cool

Still, I am quite chuffed the 29" MTB fits the Rangie, these are huge wheels.

Any other MTBers on the forum?

I used to race cross-country and downhill in my younger years but am too lazy now.
The only question I have for you is this; What do you do once you have actually used the bike?
I would think you don’t want to put a dirty bike on top of your leather seats!

I just took the bike to the shop for its first free service,

I do not use the Rangie to carry it to the woods, however I could always use a tarp if needed.

It just shows how big the Rangie boot is once the seat are flat.

DJtimo, you'd be better off with a Disco 3/4 to be honest if you ned to carry 2 or 3 26" bikes with 2/3 person in the car. as you can get the bikes straight with the front wheel off, you cannot in the Rangie. l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

Do you find the 29" wheels make much difference other than pricier tires and tubes??

I have found putting mine in front first easier and just covering it in some old blankets because the rigid load liners rear seat edge can be a paint for this at first but you get used to working around it... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Hi,

There is a great difference indeed. I would suggest trying one for a day or too, or buy a basic 29" to use for a couple of months, keeping your 26", eventually sell on the basic 29" to get a proper 29 or get back on the 26".

Enjoy. l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Supercharged Supercharged Java Black

I've got a Trek Remedy that's been all over the country. Not put it in the FFRR yet though, too scared! Done a lot of trail centres and also Snowdon and even Ben Nevis on it. Not a fan of 29ers anywhere other than a Red trail at a purpose built trail center. I find the extra momentum of the wheels a bit un-nerving when things get twitchy or airborne. They do roll over rocks rather easily though.

I've got a independent fabrication TI deluxe and a Yeti ASR5. Either fitted in the back of my old X5 but now I have ivory leather and a much plusher cabin the bike rack will be getting more use. Cool
