2025 Trek Rail+ models 29er rear option?

[FastFreddyV]

Was wondering if anyone with the new rail+ models has tried putting a rear 29er and if it fits?

I saw it’s the same chainstay length as my current Rail 7 and 9.9.

Really would like to just drop in one of my spare carbon 29er rear wheels if it fits. I’m only going to use a 2.4 rear tire.

Any feedback?

Hoping @Rob Rides EMTB can chime in, since he has the new Rail+. i saw the youtube video a week ago, waiting for his follow up video

Negative. Won’t fit. Personally not tried but someone messaged me saying they tried but no luck.

Ive tried it on mine, doesnt fit.
Thought it might as same length as old rail chainstay.

Damn it! Did you try it with a 2.4 tire or it wasn’t even close to remotely fitting?

Its just not close . I would have prefered a full 29er . But the mullet is really fun to be honest. Ive got an XL and ir feels nimble
