Specialized 2.4-3.0" tubes work well.

Schwalbe does a 650b tube that's good up to 3.0 - £8 from nextdaytyres. It mostly lives in a saddle pack on the bike just in case and so I don't leave it at home after changing bikes. I've also used a 29" tube in an emergency, but it's not ideal, takes ages to fill the void.

I've got a random big carcass 29" tube in my bag, but as said, it's for emergencies. I'm tubeless, so hopefully I won't have a problem.

Specialized 2.4-3.0" in my case but any standard 650B tube will be fine.

I use the 26" version of the 2.4-3.0" tubes in my 4" fatbike tyres.

[url= https://orena45blog.wordpress.com/2016/11/05/test-ride-mondraker-vantage-r-27-5/ ]I took a demo bike out at the weekend [/url] and punctured. My 650b spare tube went in and was fine for the rest of the ride.

I just carry a bog standard 29er tube. Reason being is that if I did have to fit it, it would sit on the outside of the tyre therefore less chance of nipping it with the beads.
