29" tubes with Presta removable core valve

thelonegroover

I’ve tried going tubeless with my wheels and tyres but they would not seal.
I’m now looking for some 29” inner tubes with Presta valves that have a removable core. I’d like to inject my Fenwicks Airtight into the tube. All the 29” tubes with Presta valves don’t seem to have removable cores. Does anyone know who makes these.

Every Conti presta tube I've ever bought has had a removable core, but they were all 26". A quick google suggests it's the same for 29" though.

I wish they were. I called in at Allterraincycles yesterday and none of their Conti tubes had removable cores. However, I only asked, I didn't actually inspect them. Also, the ones that came on the bike don't have removable cores.

Might be better off addressing the tubeless issue, are your tubes/tyres tubeless ready?

Could you get them to inflate initially and then they lost air, or was there a problem getting them inflated?

If you are going to stick the sealant in tubes you might as well just buy the slime tubes, they are heavy but effective.

Schwalbe inner tubes
Quality inner tubes with a removable valve core so you can put sealant into it. Sizes include 20", 26", 700c and 29er.

Thanks, thats just what I'm looking for, unfortunately, the 29" are out of stock.

Bugger...

Try Stans instead of Fenwicks, Stans is runnier & seems to seal up much better in my experience, as long as your setup is right your tyres should seal fine, or just buy slime tubes if you want to go down that route.

I've already got the Fenwicks solution. I could try it on one of the other bikes I suppose.

Update to my own thread: Schwalbe UK confirm, all presta valved inner tubes have removable vales cores.

Dusting this one off.

I've read some reviews on chainreaction about the Scwalbe presta valves coming off the tubes, and that they are a tight fit on a 29" rim.... Have you found this to be the case, or was it muppet fitting causing the problems.
