I don’t know that any modern dedicated 29’er plays _really_ nice with a mullet conversion unless they have BB height adjustment - like the Banshee Titan I reviewed - the BBs are just too low. You can over-fork 10-20mm and the STAs are steep enough that it’s usually fine (~1/2d from 27” wheel + ~1/2d from 1.5cm travel increase = ~1d slacker STA).
I always run 175mm cranks so that’s an extra concern as well. I have to really focus on pumping over pedaling.
In mullet mode it’s total shenanigans and much more universally rideable than my **[SB102 Before Brunch Ride](https://nsmb.com/articles/my-yeti-sb104-sheared-pedal-pins-terrified-grins/) **but I don’t think I could run it as a mullet universally unless I bumped up to a 140mm or 150mm fork. Then it would have a HTA around 62d (hahahaha).
