    Anyone riding a 26" tube in a 36er? After putting 70 holes in a 29" tube
    trying to get it on I only had a 26" tubes laying around so I decided
    why not? It is installed on the rim and cranked to 45psi. if it is
    still at 45 psi tomorrow morning I will take it down to 32psi and ride
    it on my commute. If not I will either panic and try to change the tube
    back to the regular 36' tube or ride my 26" on the commute. How much is
    a 26" different from a 29" tube anyways?

    And you can probably get some super heavy duty Downhill mountainbike
    tubes too.

    this one goes.

    what I found worked is to stretch the tube for a few hours, slowly pump
    it up to a diameter of about 48" by pumping a little every half hour or
    so then deflate it so it has a diameter of 36" an put it in the tire.
    Then start putting the tire casing back on the rim making sure the tube
    is out of the way. I have a qu-ax rim and a TA tire so its really tight
    so I have to use dish soap to get it on the last bit. once its on then
    pinch all around the tire and bounce it on the ground to make sure its
    not pinching anywhere. god speed.

    Y'all are crazy. 29" on a 36" wheel is stretching things enough!

    No need to use such language. I bought another 29 tube and installed it
    successfully. No one is disobeying the laws of physics today. Maybe
    next time.

    ranting post from Nathan about how much of a diff this makes.

    nice isaac... the big problem is that the 36er tube for some reason is
    like an anaconda. I don't know why it needs to be made of that much
    rubber.

    Edit: the 29er didnt sell?

    the 36" is actually a very well built tube, I was very impressed with it
    when I was removing it. The 29 tube is working well, I hope it lasts! I
    slowly pumped it to 45 psi and let it sit for a couple hours, now its
    back to 32 and should be fine.
