Banshee Titan Mullet 13

dam that's NICE!

Hello how is it riding in mullet format versus full 29?

Hi,
Most of time, I’m riding with 27.5 rear wheel.
I think it’s better to put 27.5 than full 29
because tire doesn’t hit my hip
agility(maneuverability) comes up
and a bit high BB that full 29 Titan has is adjusted by 27.5 tire.

2 generations-old cranks - presumably because you're a fellow believer that 104 BCD and 50mm chainline is better than modern so-called standards. I been bangin on about this for ages

The 980 /985 is the best Shimano crank ever (fight me).
104bcd, normal tension and pinch bolt fitting, and with the 3x version space for a bashring...

Manufacturers said boost optimsed front gear is necessary, but the difference is just 3mm. Titan has longer chainstay, it mean the effect of chainline is less than other bikes and can get enough clearance between chainstay and chainring.
...But finally, I choose M980 because of the good design.

Shock piggyback clear bottom-out clear from bottom tube?

Of course I confirmed.
There is enough clearance

How's the EXT Storia on the Titan? I love my Titan but the bottom out bumper on the X2 has me wanting a coil.

Only I tested at backyard of my house, but work well. Tire was sticking on ground and very supported.
Just one thing I noticed was the shock is noisy.
