Mullet setup

[Kyle86]

Current running a focus SAm2 where I have a flip switch where can do mullet setup. When I done this I have now have a small problem where my brake caliper not not lining up due to dropping to 27.5 losing bout 38mm as current got 203mm rotor, is my thinking correct if I purchase a brake mount for a 160mm this would balance it out?

Any advice would appreciated

Caliper shouldn`t be affected .
The disc is on the hub and is not affected by wheel diameter . Are you thinking in terms of rim brakes ?

Or does the flip chip change the position of the caliper ??

I mulletised my Levo , just bolted up the axle and out the door .

I think the Sam2 has got adjustable chainstays.

I think the Sam2 has got adjustable chainstays.

That makes sense .
The flip chip moving the position of the brake disc . Live and learn .

Fans of 27.5-inch wheels should not fear, by switching the orientation of the flip-chip you have the option to ride the smaller wheels if required. This reduces the chainstays to a super-short 430mm, shortening the wheelbase and providing a more nimble ride character.

Your Sam2 has frame-specific adaptors for the two different dropout settings:

Hi mate know this old thread but how did you find a mullet set up , thinking of trying it but would mean I need to but the 27.5 wheel so bit expensive for experimenting, currently I find the bike a lil clumbsy on slow , techs off piste sections wondering if this will make a difference

Well just in case anyone is thinking about doing it …. It’s great I’ve changed to mullet and the bike is more nimble feeling even at slow speed, it’s how the bike should have came for me
