29"front & 26" rear? Thoughts?
#1
My friend has a 26" full suspension and is thinking of changing his front shocks and wheel to a 29". He does heaps of off-road dirt track riding.

What's the call on this setup?

Mullet Setup, check my reply to your other thread, they used to do this alot before 27.5" tires became a thing now people opt for 29" in front and 27.5" at the back. Your friend might be an old soul and chose to stick with the older 26" mullet setup haha

Mullet or mixed wheel setup. This is pretty common for dirt track riding.
