Mullet Cycles - The Honeymaker Ti Bike
£3,999.00
Gone Biking Mad is very pleased to be able to offer you this UK exclusive Mullet Bike, spec'd by us to get the very best out of the bike and made to handle our British weather.
We partnered up with some amazing brands to offer you a bike that is a much better value than you could achieve by buying the parts yourself, naturally, we also offer a frame only option for those of you that already have what you need.
Built by us to the highest of standards the bike will only require the minimum of assembly to allow the bike to fit within a sturdy box for shipping, alternatively, for those of you within 100 miles of us down in Dorset we will hand-deliver the bike to you, hopefully at a bike park so we can go for a ride.
Sizes: Small 5'2"-5'6", Medium 5'7"-5'11", Large 6'0"-6'4"
Important note, the delivery time for a Mullet frame or bike is approximately 4 to 6 weeks from the date of purchase.

Technology
Scrub Radius and Force Vectors Defined:
CopyRight 2013 Mullet Cycles LLC
Scrub Radius (As we applied it to the bicycle): Relates to the measurable turning arch of the rear wheel that’s created when the front wheel is turned.
Force Vectors (As we applied it to the bicycle): When the front wheel is turned, it generates a vector angle. This effect generates a Force on the front wheel, felt as “Push” from the force generated by the rear wheel.
*See line drawn from the centre front wheel to the centre of the rear wheel as seen from the top of a Bicycle. (Figure 1, Line A)
When wheels are symmetrical the Scrub Radius and Force Vectors (a measurable arch) is negatively increased. Force Vectors applied on symmetrical wheels are increased as centerline pull forces are decreased. On mixed wheeled platforms, forces are positively decreased. In addition to this, anti-tip properties are benefited and BB levels can be significantly improved.
Different Wheel Diameters, Different Jobs, Better Performance
Larger Front wheel = Superior Rolling Resistance / Steering Traction Forces / Optimized Force Vector Tuning
Smaller Rear Wheel = Increased Powered-Torque / Driving Traction Forces / Optimized Scrub Radius Tuning
When mixed wheel geometry is optimized we achieve maximized pedal-power efficiency while still maintaining the safest descending position.
*Benefits of riding a Mullet
-Better Cornering as a result of a properly mixed wheeled ratio design.
-Better Anti-Tip (safer) while still maintaining optimum ergonomic pedal-power positions.
-Constant Attack position/posture resulting in safer and better control of the bicycle.
-Optimized BB Heights greatly decreases pedal strikes.
-Wider range of speed handling through an optimum head angle position.
-Smaller rear wheel reacts quicker due to lighter weight and smaller diameter
-Smaller rear wheel is stronger, has less gyroscopic force and is able to transmit greater Torque
-Better Air Control and Stability due to a differential gyroscopic effect.
-Larger front wheel diameters optimally roll over obstacles, has a larger steer contact patch resulting in greater trail traction
-Limits the Push/Pull effect when entering, holding, and exiting corners.
