Thorn General / Re: Mullet nomad mk 2 (26" rear -- 27.5" front)
« Last post by E-wan on Today at 01:56:30 pm »Thanks for your thoughts
I wasn't really considering running different tire sizes, front and rear
I'm happy enough with the 26ラ2.5 Surley extra terrestrial front and rear tyre.
What I am considering is running different wheel sizes front and rear with the same tyre size
(there may be a slight difference in tyre profile as the internal diameter of the rim on the rear wheel is narrower)
What do you make of this description of the way the force vectors change with a larger font than rear wheel from mullet cycles

By running at 27.5 wheel at the front of the 26 inch wheel at the back the front axle will be about 10 mm higher than the rear axle.
Given that, I am running a different front fork which is 10 mm shorter than the one intended for the nomad mk2, running the 27.5 wheel Front and 26" back would return the frame geometry to its original intended angles, albeit with a different size front wheel.
