Opinion: The Big Short - Smaller Wheels Don't Require Shorter Chainstays
@sargey2003: doh, lack of sleep. The rear axle ends up lower than the FRONT axle, changing the weight distribution.

Opinion: The Big Short - Smaller Wheels Don't Require Shorter Chainstays
I think one of the main reasons that chainstays feel shorter on mullet bikes is that the rear axle winds up lower than the rear axle, changing the weight balance between the wheels.

Seb Stott's 2024 Predictions
This. Two of my current bikes have 10mm of chainstay adjustment length and I'd love a central option. My ideal would be every bike having +5/0/-5 options.

Opinion: Do We Need Size-Specific Chainstays?
Something worth adding to the article is the rearward weight bias of a mullet setup.

Field Test Review: 2024 Commencal Meta 5 SX - Supercross for a Reason
They were riding a medium in the NSMB article and a large in this one. FC/RC balance is pretty different between the two sizes so it would be hard to compare anything geo-related.

Yeti Launches Direct-to-Consumer Website Sales
Prices still aren't what I'd consider competitive. An SB-140 frame is $4400. Have they resolved their cracking issues?

First Ride: Orbea Occam SL & LT
I'm in the middle of shopping for my next AM bike right now. Saw the geo on the LT and thought this looks exactly what I'm looking for...then I saw the headset cable routing. Absolutely no go.
