I'm in the process of purchasing a Carbine 275. I've never ridden one but I have a few other Intense bikes. The geometry on paper looks close to my liking but I would prefer to slacken the head angle and lower the bb just a bit. The easy answer in my mind is to mount a 26" wheel on the back. Anybody with a carbine ever try this out? Also with a 160mm fox talas up front and a 26" wheel on the back, I wonder what numbers the change will produce?
Without actually doing it myself, it seems like there would be a lot of benefit without much or any downfall?

No need to follow through on this idea since I've been clued in to burgtec offset bushings.
