I didn’t think it would be a big deal going from a mountain bike with 27.5-in. wheels to a one with 29s, but I was wrong in one area: when it came to transporting them on our Yakima HoldUp bike rack. According to Yakima’s site, the HoldUp fits 20- to 27.5-in. wheel sizes with tires up to 3.0 in. wide and 29-in. tires up to 2.5 in. wide. Our 2020 Cannondale Habit Neo 2s have 29x2.6 tires, which are wider than the accepted diameter by a mere 1 mm. The only conclusion I can reach is that the tire must be taller by a significant amount because the arm that secures the front wheel was not even close to clearing our 29x2.6 tires. In doing some searches, I could see that others have run into the same issue; they addressed it by having the arm come up just on the front of the wheel, but I just never felt that would secure the bike well enough, especially on rougher roads.
