Is the mullet just a fad?

Mountain bikers do this usually to get the benefits of both tires to maximize how fast they go going down a steep hill, 29' wheels 'carry' speed better and can roll over rocks easily but is harder to maneuver, 27.5 wheels on the other hand is very nimble and accelerates faster than larger wheels, you get both positives by doing this kind of set up.

@meamoantonio Again thanks for that clear information. I went from 26" both to 29 both with having to make some adjustments. Be interesting to see how I go with 29" and 26" front and rear. Was it easy for you?

the ease of the shift really depends on how often you ride, if you ride once a week I'd imagine taking a month or two to get used to it but if you ride 3 or more times a week it'll probably take a week or two to get the hang of it, try experimenting with different wheel sizes too, you discover more about yourself and how you ride while trying out different things, enjoy!
