Has anyone tried to mullet a 2020 Meta Power 29?
Would be great to hear any feedback or thoughts on the idea. I really like a mullet setup.
Assume the H/A would change by about 1 degree depending on tyre choices etc. and BB would drop a little.
Any real world experience would be great to hear.
It's the same amount the flipchip gives you.
And pretty much for every 1cm of extra fork travel you get 0.5 degree head angle change (roughly) on the same brand/model fork.
It ends up making quite a difference especially once you mullet the bike.
Goes from 66 degress to almost 64.5
Thanks. That’s basically what I was trying to say. Just saying “pump it harder” is not really solving the problem.
I was running the exo+ casing DHR II’s which never gave me a problem on my lighter analogue enduro bike on the same trails.
I was just disappointed at how easily they popped on a...
Maxxis sells their DHR II as a heavyweight downhill tyre. Not a lightweight tyre.
I’ve dented rims with other tyres and the tyres were fine.
Pinch flat and torn sidewall on the DHR II and my rim was absolutely fine. It wasn’t even such a big hit. Just a bit rowdy.
Great article and video for the Levo:
Pretty much my setup except I have longer coil shock making it a 157mm travel rear (210x55mm Marzocchi). 160mm Lyrik.
Best setup for me

Was searching for some info on the Minion DHR II durability - found this thread. Had my Minion DHR II 27.5 2.6 on the rear for about a month. On a pretty rowdy descent with some jumps and drops got a pinch flat (top of tyre) as well as a rip in the area just above the beading.

I put on one my Levo and my mate put one on his Trance. We’ve never looked back. You can even go longer to the 185x55 to give you slightly more travel. I did on my Levo. Just check the clearances on your Trance. (Deflate air shock completely and see what gaps are left between the frame and the...
Go 279 (Mullet) - it's the best setup I've run (with a 160mm fork)
Stick a 2.5 or 2.6 27.5 on the back and 2.5/2.4 29er on the front.
In the video he explains the height change (flip chip set to high) with numbers.
Do it.

My 2C.
Looks like you installed it upside down.
You can fit it the other way around with the piggy back at the toptube side - that way it won't stick out and should fit inside the frame. Might not be able to use bottle cage.
But this doesn't look ideal.
Check out this review of going 279 on a 2019/2020 Levo:
