It slacken it to 63.1 HT and the ST to 74.9 if you run a 170 fork. It won't climb as well but it might descend a little better. of course, you could run with a 160 fork keep it at 63.6 HT and 75.4 ST. I have a friend with an HD3 set up as a mullet with a 150 fork and he says doesn't climb as good as when it a 27.5 but it nice to have the big wheel up front.

Yeah, I was thinking about running a 150mm fork to preserve the geometry as much as possible.

No, I'm still running 27.5 front and rear.

Yes. Very good so far. Pretty sure I'll leave this bike with this setup. Configuration:

Setup w/ 150mm fork @ approx 20% sag at the moment.
