The rear triangle of this frame is meant for a 27.5 wheel. The fork is for a 29 inch or 27.5 plus size tire which would be 2.6 inch wide or greater. When I had the bike built up, I had a 29 inch up front. Some people refer to that as a mullet setup. This mixed wheel combination gave me a better rollover efficiency on the front and the ability to maneuver the rear in a more playful way at times while decreasing the chances of me getting hit by the rear wheel when jumping or hucking off drops due to the smaller diameter of the rear wheel. There are a lot of benefits to running a mixed wheel setup. Hundreds of videos can explain. Motorized dirt bikes have had a larger front wheel for decades. This different size wheel combination is not abnormal or unusual. Downhill mountain bikers have been mixing wheel sizes with a larger wheel of front for years.
This was a fun frame. I appreciated the pedaling efficiency and simplicity of the hardtail. The geometry of this one is nice as well. It is what some may refer to as a "hardcore hardtail".
Thank you for viewing.
