THIS SIMPLE UPGRADE MAKES YOUR MOUNTAIN BIKE INCREDIBLE - THE 26'' MULLET!

  • This simple upgrade makes your mountain bike incredible - The 26" mullet setup was used by Brett Rheeder at Rampage where he took the win so I modify my MTB and try out this new setup, but is it actually any good?
    The new norm in mountain biking is the Mullet setup with 29er on the front and 27'5 on the rear and the point of it is to give stability and smoothness up front but more maneuverability and clearance at the rear. For the Rampage event in Utah Brett Rheeder decided to try a new approach, he decided to run a 26" rear wheel with a 27'5 up front in order to keep the bike stable at speed but also make tailwhips and spins super easy. After finding out about his set up I ordered a 26" wheel from Halo to fit to the back end of my Slopeduro modified Enduro bike and the transformation was actually amazing! After some classic bike maintenance at home I then head to Woburn Bike Park and shred the bike to smithereens on the huge jumps and flowing MTB trails that wind through the woods. Would you try this set up on your bike?
    I hope you enjoy the video!

I did however crack the Halo combat rim after doing a drop to a staircase landing. But I'm still riding on the cracked rim, the pressure keeps it intact :D Keep on riding, buddy!

I'm too short for a 29er so have a 27.5 but for grin inducing fun it's the 26". Thanks for bucking the trend Sam x.

    Tip for slow motion: If you export/finalize your videos at 60fps, you can seamlessly play your 30fps segments inside of it, but you can also use 3x slow motion at 60fps filming rate and play that back inside the 60fps timeline without any judder caused by an uneven division of the frame rate. 20fps IS a little laggy looking, but it's still good enough, especially since you can speed-ramp the 60fps footage between full speed, 2x and 3x slow motion.
    This is best paired with a 1/60th shutter speed that will give you natural-looking motion blur when the footage is at full speed, regardless of whether you drop half the frames for 30fps or use the full 60 in a 60 timeline. Plus it allows you to be "lazy" with the camera setting and simply always shoot 60fps 1/60th, and just drop half the frames to play 30 in a 60 timeline for that mixed cinematic/smooth look, but then always have 2x and 3x slow motion on hand without any settings changes.

And ha, as for me, I recently installed a heavy-duty tube in the rear tire of my commuter and it was crazy how much it slowed me down, all that extra weight back there. I was a happy camper when I replaced it with a normal tube, tho' maybe after winter I'll opt for one of those lightweight ones. Keep flyin' like an eagle, Sam!

    @anothermike4825 Před rokem +5

    You're working with inertia forces Sam. The larger and heavier the wheel, the more force it takes to make the bike spin. You cut down on both weight and size with the 26" wheel which would make it easier, or require less force, to spin the bike in the vertical and horizontal axis( flips and 360's). Enginerd here.
