If it was you, would you swap to a 150mm Lyrik Ultimate?
I've another quandary, the bike is slated to come with Hunt Trail wide wheels, which have an RRP of ~£350 or so. I neither want nor need these wheels.
Hunt have announced their AM carbon wheels, which are available in 27.5 or 29 - at ~£850 or so.
The bike can run a mullet setup, although most of the reviews say that they prefer it as a 29er.
I'm wondering about asking if I could swap the pair of Trail Wide for a single, rear, 27.5 AM carbon.
One thing to consider on this - that rim is 28mm internal, whereas the Santa Cruz equivalent is 37mm internal. Strikes me that 28mm is a bit narrow to put a 2.6" tyre on.
What think you, hive mind?

Lyrik is the better fork regards of travel - fair bit stiffer than the Pike.
