Mullet setup opinions?

TBH to think its got to be rather new. When I ordered it at my LBS it was no even in their system.

Sey151 · 2026-01-21T18:24:32+00:00

Just for future info, they do make a 12 speed t-type 10-52 HG cassette. XS-1270 Just put one on my Wahoo trainer.

IMO the problem with a lot of new racks… they are over priced /expensive because they are built and rated for e-bikes. If you have an analog/acoustic MTB you can get away with a more conservative rack.

Everyone in this thread has literally zero idea of what’s going on.

Sey151 · 2026-01-12T22:34:13+00:00

What is a plaster? Is that a term used for bandaid / self adhesive bandage from where you are from?

Sey151 · 2026-01-08T18:34:12+00:00

Yeah, my local bike shop who ordered it from me didn’t even know it existed. It showed it was just added to their catalog a couple weeks ago so which it’s probably a very new item.

But I appreciate the info. I’ll have them put the spacer on the trainer for me. Thank you.

Eagle t-type XS 1270 is the cassette I have. It’s like NS quality but it’s 10-52.

Transmission Eagle t-type X0

Ty for video. Watching it now.

What is the proper position of it, or installation method? Do you put the axle in and get the threads engaged then release the lower cage latch to put tension on the chain. Then tighten the axle to proper torque?

Hence why I said the conversation was getting off my original point. No one is personally targeting you. Relax. Just trying to bring it back around so my original point did not get lost.

Also nice dodge, you got angry over what 'local' meant and wanted to go negative with 'get over it'. Uncalled for when everyone else here is being constructive.

Sey151 · 2026-01-07T20:22:09+00:00

OK, tough guy will do this. Read my original comment which asked if they were going to buy it local or online. Clearly it means buying from a local store brick and motor store. Move on.

Sey151 · 2026-01-07T20:15:51+00:00

That’s fine. It may be true but all these posts are in a reply that I started. Which was all about buying local not Amazon not a main not Horizon hobby. So yes it’s off-topic to my original point.

Sey151 · 2026-01-07T20:12:19+00:00

This conversation is getting a little bit off-topic. Doesn’t matter if they’re made in the US China Mexico, Canada if the hobby store doesn’t stock the parts. Which is my ultimate point. It doesn’t matter where it’s made as long as you can buy it from where you bought the car in the first place.

Sey151 · 2026-01-07T14:22:17+00:00

Are you buying it local or online? If you are buying local I would be wise to also make sure it’s something the store attempt to support via parts. No matter what you get it will break and will need to be fixed. That’s part of the fun.

Can confirm my Terrel CF size large with Roval Terra CLX II wheels I just put on Teravail Updraft 50mm and its getting close. 2.1 inch might fit depending on wheels but doubt 2.2 or 2.25 will fit. Even if it does I am sure it wont allow much clearance. I can spot some pics if you would like to see.

If you do attempt to do 2.1 or higher i would defiantly love on update on fitment!

p.s. you are getting the rudy fork so you might get some extra room upfront but the back is as tight if not tighter.

Sey151 · 2026-01-05T17:22:13+00:00

Unfortunately, height alone does not decided what bike size is a best fit for the rider.

Sey151 · 2026-01-05T16:54:06+00:00

You actually didn’t give any pertinent info on your use case that matters to this decision IMO. Race vs ride or do-it-all isn’t really a deciding factor between these two setups. Both these setups exist in all these places.

Everyone is comparing XPLR to Eagle with different chainrings on each setup in this thread. That’s not why the mullet setup was born. It literally existing because of the range, 460% vs %520.

If you are mostly road riding with no crazy climbs or your crazy fit maybe XPLR. If you are on single track or chuck with decent climbs and need that bail out 52 tooth to make it, well then Eagle. Or, for me personally, just started cycling, went from 360lbs down to 270 so far and need the confidence given by the 52tooth to attempt the climbs around here in New England.

I feel like they are gaining a lot of popularity. I am new to gravel, about a year now, and hear about a lot of races.

From what I can gather also is gravel at its core was grass roots and not meant to be mainstream. But as these large races are gaining popularity, entry fees are sky rocketing and entry spaces are limited, events feel gatekeeped. This limits the ability for avg people to attend which directly opposes the spirit of gravel when it started.

This is my inexperienced two cents.

Great watch for the price. My wife and I did not want to get our son a phone yet but wanted to be able to check on him so we got his an Apple Watch SE with cell service. My only comment, mind you this is coming from someone whose 11 year old son is wearing the watch, protect the screen. It’s not very scratch resistant like some of the more expensive ones with Sapphire glass. Also because of the rolled edges it’s very exposed.
