I think pretty much all this year I rode an XL to be honest. Have you always been on an XL or is frame size something you’ve just gone bigger and bigger on over the years? I’m pretty sure the bottom bracket was maybe 3mm lower, or maybe even less than that when we put the headset in, I’m not too sure. I want to say a headset cup which was 1.5 degrees steeper and with the mino chips flipped, that was kinda enough, that brought it pretty close. Then the guys worked on something a little bit more accurate. When I was at Charlie’s I tried the mullet for the first time, threw the wheel in and flipped the mino chips and hooned it and I liked it a lot. When did you start playing around with the mullet setup? Reece's Session gets some added World Champion sparkle. ![]() Reece has a shiny new frame fresh out of the Trek paint shop to commemorate that fateful day in Austria, take a closer look below: Reece thinks there's an optimal weight balance to be found and wants to play around with it more in the future.īeing World Champ certainly comes with its perks. "Less weight is definitely not better," he says before going to add that "lighter is fantastic for acceleration but is awful at high speed and trying to brake". One of the most interesting aspects of Reece's approach to bike setup is his interest in weight, but not in the lighter is better argument. Suspension duties are taken care of by a RockShox Boxxer and Super Deluxe Coil, Reece doesn't know the settings off the top of his head but mentioned "the number of clicks doesn’t matter it’s how it feels", he went onto say it's set up pretty balanced front and rear with fast rebound and the compression sat on the open side of things. Reece stands at 178cm and runs an XL frame which he up-sized on towards the end of last season. ![]() The bike he took to the win that day is one that's not been shy of racing success over the years, a Trek Session, which was also given the mullet treatment by Reece and his mechanic last winter, something he says has offered up a lot of different benefits. Perhaps the biggest story of the weird and wacky 2020 race season was Reece Wilson's World Champs success in Leogang where he tamed the filthy conditions to take home the Rainbow Stripes for the very first time.
