It might clear a 29” rear. Many bikes that can clear 27x3” don’t, or only clear a 29” with a small tire, some do.
I think more and more people are coming around to the benefit of running bikes as a mullet. And with the limited travel (120mm), I think it’s better run as a Plus-Mullet, or at least with a 2.6” out back.
I like Plus tires. 27+ / 29+.

It could be an interesting idea for someone to chase up if they owned a Hendrix and really wanted a 29”. Greg is happy with his 27+ setup so there’s nothing more Min-Max than grabbing a set of tires. Wheels are expensive.
