I like the idea of having two bikes and three wheelsets that are all inter-compatible. I could do dual 29" if my FS bike was shorter travel or mullet if my FS bike was longer travel - that just comes down to my height.
Say it's my Walt V2 and a Fall-line Boy or a Spurduro. My Walt would normally have my 29x2.8" Vigilante in front and a faster rolling 2.6" in the rear (really liking the Purgatory lately). I run an i40 + CushCore Plus fr and an i35 + CC Pro rr on that bike.
The Fall-Line Boy/Spurduro would normally be shod in an aggressive pair of tires since it would be geared. 2.6" Vigilante Light/High Grip front and 2.4" DHR2 rear are a current favourite. An i40 CC Pro fr and an i30 CC Pro rr.
Then I'd have another wheelset that was much lighter with really fast tires that I could run on either bike. For snow rides, I could also swap the wheels from the Walt to the FLB as I'd be running a lowered SR Suntour Durolux fork that could clear the big rubber.
Yeah, I never think about this stuff... hahahahaha
