Not the CEF50, but the LCE930, so similar in many ways. Roughly 0,5-1 degree less headangle is what you get when converting any full 29" to mullet.

First one is 29"

Second is same bike as mullet, 2,8"X27.5" rear tire

After riding both I like the full 29" more, at least on trails, mostly because of the steeper seattube angle.
150 mm Fork ?
Axle to Crown Lengths?

If you look at the specifications page the a2c is 572 on the CEF50. So 150-160 fork design. Although many buyer use more and some less.
Technically, SZZS specs it for 170 mm as per their geo chart. So, peeps could be comfy with a 170/155 mixed wheel 29/27.5 if more travel is desired.

As most know, I run the 180 fork with 27.5x3.0 front/27.5x2.8 rear (the 3.0 is taller), so I'm have no steering/handling issues and the BB height seems good for the 55 mm stroke. I reckoned AC for the 27.5+ 180 Zeb 44OS was close enough to the 29er 170 Zeb, so I gambled and won. IMHO.💪

I'm enduro-trail or "trail duro" doing smaller, baby, sidetrail jumps/drops when I can find them but corners in and out berms to my inclinations nicely. I'm not a bike park guy or high flyer...a few local rogue trails have jump lines with berms purposely built in.😁

I'm happy that my initial risk/reward assessment is paying off!👊

63.2° with 2.8 rear, imagine if you use 2.4 or 2.5. On the CEF50 with 150 front travel, 210x51 rear shock and 2 x 2.9 (2.4), i mesure 63.5° and 1.3 M of wheelbase on my XL. i would prefer 27.5 rear (more light and strong), but i want not less than 63.5 and more than 1.3M. That means 29 rear mandatory for me.
My thoughts would be, I want mullet, but think it mabe too SLACK< the bike is made for 29er front and rear, I am thinking this would be the sweet spot in the HA geo of 64.5, I don't want it too FLOPPY as I turn the bars into the bend...

This wait is killing me. How long did you US guys take to get your frame after paying? I am just staring at a pile of parts.
6 months😁 But I was one of first to pay last January. I think 3-6 weeks if in stock to US (AZ) for me for the warranty frame, so comes in to West Coast (Long Beach, CA).

Damn after a month or two, i wouldve thought they ran off with my money. You are a very patient man.
Patience grasshopper.
It takes a week to get on the ship once given to the freight forwarder.
Takes 15 to 25 days to make it across the pond, if you are in the US anyway.
Takes a week to get through customs.
Takes xx to get to you via Fedex or UPS.

But nobody has lost theirs in transit that I know of....

The first batch peeps were all in the same....they projected by early March...first framesets went out in early May. 3-month delay was daunting, and I considered asking for a refund, especially on the question of wider airshock fitment like my MegNeG ultimate.

Fortunately, turns out to be the best E-mtb I own out of 3. Was worth it, but not without lots of anxiety, frustration, inquiry, and frankly arguing with SZZS and other forum members.🤕😎

I entertain during my wait watching the ship carrying container with my kit as it travels on www.marinetraffic.com ;)
SZZS dispatched my order 1 month after the payment, they had some delays due to new year and other holidays, now it's like 3 weeks for the delivery. My pile of parts is complete for some time now...

I waited 3 months because of V2 mod and it took me 5 days to ship it to my hand. I self collect from the flight forwarder. Cant wait for them to send it next days. I am from Malaysia

44OS for me. 51 was a little steep for a few reportedly.
I am very comfortable with my current 44mm setup so i think i better not take the risk to 51mm...

My V2 motor cover survive impact as some are asking for it quality. I am not sure how i got it.
