Had my beauty out at the Munga Grit Modimolle event this past weekend - she ran beautifully

Howzit all! unfortunately I have to sell my Rapide due to unforeseen expenses. I have ridden her twice!

This bike has felt amazing, and I haven't even had the chance to truly run her in, only touched the tarmac, once from Royal Ascot to Blouberg, and then once to Melkbos.

Anyone tried running the bike with a 27.5" (650b) rear wheel?

I'd thinking about it and would run a 2.6 or 2.8 tyre

You can Run up to 3 Inch Tyres on the Rapide frame.

Yes, mine is mullet at the moment, 29er 2.6 front and 2.8 650b at the back. Rides amazing! I had 650b front and rear but the mullet has transformed the bike

Cool, which tire you running on the rear?

Still not getting all this slack head angle “wheel-too-far-away-from-the-down-tube” business hey @dasilvarsa?😅

but seriously though, you should really just try a bike built for pointing down hills once. The rush the first time you realise just how slow you have been going totally worth it. 

Regarding the bike in picture, and to paraphrase @Jewbacca - 100% would smash that! That thing looks like one of those oldschool 24” 300mm travel ones! It’s so wrong it’s right.
