The battle 26-27-29 is so hot, yeah, it is like a battlefield out there in the commentlines.
So why dont mix wheelsizes?

I am riding a Liteville 301 in XL with 1,92m with a 29" in front and 27,5 in the back. (150mm pike + 800er bar)
This setup is so great. it corners like hell. Riding (on a 13kg bike) feels so secure like never before.

I also have a classic freeride rig knolly delirum with 26 F/R+Float180
Yes Im happy. But I could go on a 160mm with 27,5 front wheel or even a 29er with 150/140mm travel.

What do you think will shred most?

Why is there only Liteville which is doing this scaled size stuff? Are there some huge points I dont see?

I actually built a hard tail like that, 29r front with 27.5 in back.

It rode AMAZING. I think it makes a great build option, but didnt think anyone actually built bikes pre configured liked that.

Ah...takes me back to the days of my 2001 BigHit w/ 26/24 wheels!!
It also had 3.0 tires.

What goes around comes around
