Wally, sounds like what my Susie is going to be! The Tumbleweed rack should work out perfect! I have mounted one to a standard rear spaced bike as well as a new boost rear. They are a great rack. I just loaned mine to my cousin for the Colorado trail this summer or I’d be using it. Still might if he gives it back! I had the shorter version and it cleared 29x3 on a few different bikes so that is probably the size to go for.
