![]() “The woman hasn’t aged,” the cinematographer Matthew Libatique, who shot Don’t Worry Darling, and first worked with Wilde on the 2011 sci-fi Western Cowboys and Aliens, tells me. Nor, she laughingly assures me, is she responsible for the two unseasonal gingerbread houses displayed on the kitchen counter, which are the handiwork of her kids, Otis, seven, and Daisy, five, whom she shares with her ex-fiancé, Jason Sudeikis. So Wilde can’t take credit for the cheeky art selection or the cheerful, modern decor, or for the sumptuous backyard pool that beckons from every angle of the first floor. When Wilde rented it this past spring, it had already been furnished in a precisely curated, Instagrammable style we might be in a Design Within Reach catalog. This house is a respite from all that scrutiny.

![]() ![]() It’s something to consider when dialing in your new setup if you find front wheel traction issues. Read more on Wheel Flop on Wikipedia HereĪlso it’s important to remember in a world of 2.5mm stem spacers and 5mm stem lengths when you mullet that 27.5″ your hands are going up and back. I think I would feel the 7.7% difference in trail but more notably the nearly 11% change in wheel flop during steering input. I’ve gone down this rabbit hole previously comparing the 160 and 150mm fork options on the SB130 – but again I come back to trail and wheel flop. I’d also go on a limb and say I’d be hardpressed to feel a sub 2% change in a lot of things on my bike… So if it’s not the headtube change you’re feeling what is it? I would say most sport level riders would feel the difference between the 180mm stock and 170mm mullet bike. Let’s look at numbers we can compare (again don’t use these as Jeopardy answers but you get the point…) Sidenote: The modification to these dimensions from the fork height needs to have the headtube angle compensated for, but the radius gain is the same no matter what. Well this forces the front end up, pivoting on the rear wheel axis, increasing stack while decreasing reach. Then you add the radius difference between tire sizes, for this we’ve gone with a clean 27.5mm and 29″ diameter but they do vary a bit with tires, the less travel fork again adds 19mm. The fork with less travel, albeit bigger wheel, is 8mm taller axle to crown. Using Yeti’s geo charts we see the SB165 27.5″ 180mm is listed at 569.1mm axle to crown. So given the 29er has a larger radius it is typical for both geometry considerations as well as keeping the wheel off the downtube to go to a smaller travel option like the 170mm 29er versus the 180mm 27.5 on the SB165 mullet. If it can hit the frame it WILL stop the front wheel turning you into a lawn dart. You don’t compress a fork all the way going slow, in flats, where you can correct this. ![]() If at any time the tire can contact the frame you’re gonna get hurt. Remember that in full compression your tire will expand at the top (as the bottom of the tire is forcibly compressed). ![]() ALWAYS check that at full compression the front wheel has clearance of the downtube. Some considerations if you’re planning a mullet. ![]() I decided to build out a couple more options into the model to help highlight where all the changes are. So why does less than 2% difference and less than 1 degree headtube angle feel like such a notable change? So the quick answer to the question: “What would be the head angle of the SB165 in mullet config with 170mm 29″ fork?” It’s about a degree slacker coming in just under 62.5 degrees. From that point we rotate the model on the rear wheel axis until the front wheel is raised to the appropriate height.Īlright. We build a model and then extend the axle and crown down and change the offset. In this case the model utilizes the stock size M SB165 wheelbase, an estimated wheel radius (27.5/2), the published axle to crown of 569.1 as well as the 63.5 degree headtube angle. So until BikeCo gets a grant to do it we use models to expedite this. All of these factors make it a bit complex (for me at least) to calculate the geometry and trig needed. When you’re working with a front wheel modification like the SB165 or SB140 your fork offset is also likely to change. Front wheel radius increases or rear wheel radius decreases depending on setup. With a mullet bike you’ve got other factors as well. Headtube angle, trail, flop, reach and stack are all modified when you increase or decrease axle to crown distance. So some riders will be familiar with the geo modifications from bikes like the SB130 or SB140 Lunch Ride setups. We’ll have some basic concept and comparison of how one change directly modifies a whole bunch of the handling. It could be a thesis trying to explain how these changes directly modify performance so we’re not going there today. Point is, these numbers will give you an idea of the concept I wouldn’t bet the farm on precision four points behind the decimal… These models aren’t gospel truth on geo, but having been in this game for a lot of years some of the geo’s you’ve seen published I wouldn’t take for gospel either. I couldn’t find Yeti’s published SB165 Mullet geo so I build a model to review. What started as a quick email reply of concept turned into a more thorough review and I thought with more questions on MTB mullets these days we could put it up on a post for everyone. How did the headtube angle compare between the Yeti SB165 in a 27.5″ stock setup with a 180mm fork compared to the Mullet 29″ 170mm concept? In particular headtube angles and performance.

When asked about its stance on cops using the Punisher's logo, Marvel pointed to a Punisher comic book that was published last year as its position on cops using the Punisher symbol. That is certainly something that people can criticize, but the cops likely have a First Amendment right to do so.Īlong those lines, then, one thing that Marvel can do is to denounce the use of the logo, something the company has already done. The police have chosen to express themselves through an association with the Punisher. If they are restricting their usage to just painting the logo on the side of their vehicle, though, then it is likely that the cops would be protected by their First Amendment right to free expression. If the groups were to sell the posters and/or decals, that would be a whole other matter. This is a grayer area, but even here, it is unclear whether Marvel's trademark over the Punisher logo can allow them to tell people that they cannot use the Punisher logo for non-commercial uses. A year later, police groups debuted a "Blue Lives Matter" response movement and a number of "Blue Lives Matter" groups have incorporated the Punisher logo into "Blue Lives Matter" posters, decals and things of that nature. The protesters particularly spotlighted police killings of African Americans, which, in turn, tied into protests against racial profiling, police brutality and the overall mistreatment of African Americans within the American criminal justice system. ![]() In 2013, the "Black Lives Matter" movement was launched to protest the systemic racism and violence that African Americans face in the United States. RELATED: Twitter Presses Disney To Sue Police For Co-Opting Punisher's Iconic SkullĪ trickier issue is when police officers create their own Punisher logos. Major League Baseball cannot tell a cop that they are not allowed to wear a Red Sox cap. It would be similar to a cop wearing a Boston Red Sox cap. Once you have purchased a fully licensed piece of merchandise, you gain a broad right to use the merchandise as you wish. Without that aspect in play, trademark owners cannot do much to make people stop using their intellectual property. As noted, the protection for trademarks generally goes towards people using the term to make money off of the logo. That's the same basic problem with Marvel and the Punisher logo worn by so many police officers. If you use it as part of your business, though, it is using the mark in commerce and the trademark owner can (and often will) come after you. You can draw Mickey Mouse on your kid's wall and that's fine. The most infamous example of this sort of thing was when Disney threatened a Florida daycare center over unauthorized murals of Disney characters on their walls. So you can use the trademarked term while the bar/restaurant cannot. A bar or a restaurant, however, would be. The difference, then, is that when you are having a party at your house, you are not using the term in commerce. However, when bars or restaurants advertise such parties, they are forced to note that the party is for "The Big Game," since "Super Bowl," of course, is a trademarked term owned by the National Football League (NFL). People have them every year at their homes. A notable example would be Super Bowl parties. If the intellectual property is not being used in commerce, there is not a whole lot that the owners of the trademark can do about people using the trademark. This means that the intellectual property is being used in commerce. ![]() A trademark, simply put, is a mark that is used in trade. The key problem with enforcing the use of the trademark with police officers, though, is found in the word trademark itself. That is not the case, though, as the Punisher's logo (designed by Gerry Conway and John Romita Sr.) is clearly a distinctly stylized skull, and its distinctive design certainly can be trademarked. One area where there is confusion is over whether Marvel can even enforce a trademark on the Punisher's logo, since it is seemingly "just" a skull and, therefore, would be too generic to trademark.
