As the title, can you mullet one of these?
There's a tasty small one up for sale and my partner's smashed it this week in Finale on her reactor so think she deserves an upgrade! She's 165cm though, and does complain of hitting the rear wheel on her bfemax when she gets off the back of it so I thought a mullet would be a better idea.
Is this possible or will it throw out the geometry too much? I couldn't find much on the subject matter on a Google and Stanton's website is down at the minute (understandibly so)
Thanks in advance
Not sure it works well with the standard linkage but have heard it done swapping the linkage for the one off the 27.5er.
Worth asking Stanton as now they are back in business it might be relatively easy to get the other linkage.
Not officially, and there's no flip chip, or linkage available.
It's got a fairly high BB so could probably get away with just putting a 27.5 wheel on the back without getting pedal strikes. But it's fairly slack so you'd probably want to run 150mm forks rather than 160mm to keep the head angle sensible.
Alternatively, you could get some offset bushings and run them 'backward' to normalise the geo.
Thanks both! Will try and see about funds and how much she'd get for her current bike. If we get it will give Stanton a buzz for a 27.5 linkage
