General Info
I changed the rear wheel to 27.5 and left 29 in the front, wanted to make the bike more happy 🥳
The flip chip is in the low settings, so I shortened the crank arms to 170 mm.
The travel is stock, 130 mm in the back and 140 mm in the front.
Now it's much easier to pull the front wheel, and the head angle is slacker. The BB is lower, but no pedal strike because the crank arms are shorter. The bike is more nimble, very easy to lift the rear wheel over rocks. There is a bad side, the seat is closer to the rear wheel so not 100% pedal efficient. And when going through rock garden the 29 combination works better than mullet. But i am happy, and still have the 29 rear wheel if i want to switch again 🤠 Win Win Situation 💥
