My maths is failing me today so I thought someone here might know the answer. If I wanted to put a 275 fork and wheel on a mullet, how much longer does the 275 fork need to be to compensate?

Like I said my brain isn’t working today after being frazzled by a few night shifts.

In my experience, Zebs are your answer due to longer axle to crown.

170mm lyrik on 29 to 180mm zeb on 27.5, hasn't killed me yet

^ wot the man that owns about bikes says (you lose ~ 20mm with equivalent fork and ~ 20mm from the smaller wheel size)
