29er front and 27.5 rear what would happen?

[Bizkit031]

What would happen if you take a 29er full suss and put a 27.5 on the rear and leave the front as is?

[udxcob]

Nothing

[NISI]

you would ride uphill

[chaos_za]

The moutnain biking world would implode....

[zappa]

Why?

[Hairy]

you might slap your pedals more often on rocks as the BB height will drop a little

[Redlight]

you would get a certificate from the Retard club

[Ham]

you would look like a clot.

[GrantRH]

You would pop a lot of wheelies

[Erasmus]

I tried 29" front and 26"back some time ago, my idea was accelerate like a 26" and descent like a 29" ...

 

Did not really work.

 

but 29 - 27,5 might...

There was a thread like this not too long ago, including pictures. Apparently motocross (Or it could have been ENDURO motor bikes) have smaller rear wheels?

Then 29'' rear and 26'' Front you will be downhill all the time

Dropping the BB height could be a good thing depending on the current height.

 

It will also slacken your headangle and seattube angle with the equivalent effect of putting a 20mm longer fork on the front

Have a look at the silverback Singo Tecnica. Has a 650b frame and back wheel, with a 29er fork and front wheel. It is used for trail riding but is a hard tail. Check on the link to find out more.
