   How do you do this for a 29er tire?

   Same way. You probably could get away with using a 26″ tube. But I figure the 29″ would be a better fit.

   Benefits is if you get a thorn, you simply remove it and keep riding. The tire sealant will seal any punctures you have. Plus you have an added benefit of superb handling when using tubeless.
