When you mulleted the Nicolai, did you end up putting on a longer stem?I've built a couple of bikes up as mullets.
The first was my nicolai g16, originally had 27.5 wheels but got mullet curious as it's the best of both worlds and many people on mtbr ran this combination. Only thing I did when swapping over was reduce the travel on the fork by 10mm to bring the a2c down by 10mm. I much preferred this setup to 27.5.
The second was a v3 spitty. Got a good deal on the frame but couldn't go back to a 27.5 front wheel after experiencing the bigger wheel up front. So mulleted it also, I never ran this as a full 27.5 so can't compare. Also I sold it shortly after building it as I rode an ebike and was converted.
I'd say go for it. If you have a fork that you can adjust travel without a new air spring you can experiment a little to find the sweet spot.
New build I'm on the fence between full 29 or mullet again. Probably go mullet, I'm not racing and in it for fun with lots of jumps.
I really like how playful the mullet setup is and it suits my regular trails perfectly.
