2.6 tyres and bike stand

[TonyBalony]

Just ordered the Rakk XL but my bike with 29x2.6 tires won’t stay put and easily falls over.

i have tried all setups with the rings and have found an okay setup, but it still fell down today (luckily I was still standing next to it).

which setup do you use?

I also have the Specialized one which is sturdy but not portable enough!

I bought one of these, and then used a car jack to bend the bars slightly wider. They will fit 2.3 tyres in without bending, but just need pushing apart by a few mm for 2.6 tyres. Its not portable though.

they do stands for different numbers of bikes

I use the Willworx Superstand (also a version for fat bikes available).
The 2.6" tires fit snugly and the bike stands solid.
(Front or rear wheel).

@willeco Nice colour scheme, the best I've seen on a Giant.

Thanks, ordered the XLC now. I have a once used Rakk XL for sale then

Bike stands are invariably more stable used on the front wheel rather than the back...especially heavy emits.

If you don't get on with the XLC holder, I have a few brand new Willworx stands to sell, I've sold out of the flat pack 3.25" ones but have the welded version (IMO far stronger and so simple, but just don't come in a nice box) or have the 2.5" that still hold a 2.6" but snug - this flat pack or the welded version. Plus I have the FatRack massive 4 to 5.25"!! Front or rear wheel entry. Super Solid.

How much for one of these mate?
Would a Turbo Levo SL 2.3 wheel be ok in it?
