THIS SIMPLE UPGRADE MAKES YOUR MOUNTAIN BIKE INCREDIBLE - THE 26'' MULLET!

This simple upgrade makes your mountain bike incredible - The 26" mullet setup was used by Brett Rheeder at Rampage where he took the win so I modify my MTB and try out this new setup, but is it actually any good?
The new norm in mountain biking is the Mullet setup with 29er on the front and 27'5 on the rear and the point of it is to give stability and smoothness up front but more maneuverability and clearance at the rear. For the Rampage event in Utah Brett Rheeder decided to try a new approach, he decided to run a 26" rear wheel with a 27'5 up front in order to keep the bike stable at speed but also make tailwhips and spins super easy. After finding out about his set up I ordered a 26" wheel from Halo to fit to the back end of my Slopeduro modified Enduro bike and the transformation was actually amazing! After some classic bike maintenance at home I then head to Woburn Bike Park and shred the bike to smithereens on the huge jumps and flowing MTB trails that wind through the woods. Would you try this set up on your bike?
I hope you enjoy the video!

I'm still riding my 2005 Specialized DH with 2001 Monster T forks, Halo combat 24" with 3-inch tyre in the rear, and a 26" wheel upfront with the classic 3-inch Gazzalooddi tyre. A total beast. I did however crack the Halo combat rim after doing a drop to a staircase landing. But I'm still riding on the cracked rim, the pressure keeps it intact :D Keep on riding, buddy!

And are you running those super lightweight tubes or tubeless with just a sip of sealant or what? And ha, as for me, I recently installed a heavy-duty tube in the rear tire of my commuter and it was crazy how much it slowed me down, all that extra weight back there. I was a happy camper when I replaced it with a normal tube, tho' maybe after winter I'll opt for one of those lightweight ones. Keep flyin' like an eagle, Sam!

I love my 26er, Interesting to see this format of mullet though seeing as we are currently being told 29ers are the way forward! I'm too short for a 29er so have a 27.5 but for grin inducing fun it's the 26". Thanks for bucking the trend Sam x.

You're working with inertia forces Sam. The larger and heavier the wheel, the more force it takes to make the bike spin. You cut down on both weight and size with the 26" wheel which would make it easier, or require less force, to spin the bike in the vertical and horizontal axis( flips and 360's). Enginerd here.
