Surly Steamroller owners...

6'1" here. 59cm fine for me.

I’m 5’11 and ride a 56 roller, with a 110 steam. I would think you would need fair amount of seat post to make a 56 work for you and a long stem.

59cm should fit you fine (I fit a 59cm at 6”)

Is that with drops @HatBeard? I ride a 53 with flat bars and a 90mm stem very comfortably at just over 5’6”.

@HousecatHST got about 130mm of seatpost from seat clamp to saddle rail, no idea if this is lots or not.
Used to more post on mtb's.
It's comfy. I think i would be border line either way, i sorta fit a 56 but should just fit a 59 but the 59 might have been wrong for me, not being able able to sit on, or test ride either makes it hard.

Risers. maybe on a 110mm stem.

yeah you might be right, if I had my time again I think I would have sized down, I stupidly just bought the same size as my crosscheck, without really looking too closely at sizing anomaly you get with Surly's.

Same here. 5'7", ride a 53 with a 100 on (with low rise risers) and I'm grand.

5'10" and ride a 53 with 110 stem and setback..

Did some updates on mine, new pinky King, zipp post, chainring and kcnc bars!

that doesn't count, it was modded.

you ratted that up pretty quick!

hehe, same toptube lenght, stem at the same place but without spacers.

yeah it goes fast, have ride it everyday since it was painted.. nordic winter is rough.

Rolling on 35's and doing some light wading, mud plugging.

MTB crud catchers. Had to reverse the front one as the wheel caught it when turning as it's a slight wrap-a-round design for wide open mountain bike frames. Did the job.

Proper roller this one.

:)
It has it's own dark corner of the forum, most of the updates happen late at night, it's nice to cross over into the normal Steamroller thread now and again.

What's the largest tyre anyones got on with a front mudguard ?

Trying to fit 35's and it's a right ballache.
Surly reckon you can run 38's no guard and drop to 32's with a guard............ 3 effing MM's over, now dremelling the guard where the tyre rubs, trimmed off all the molding sprue (rubber hairs on tred) tempted to shave down the low profile side/edge knobs.
Show me some fat tyred Rollers with a guard please :)

anyone tried 26" on theirs? curious about rear clearance

What bars are they please?

Tempted to put gravel kings and risers and a smaller chainring on my roller having re read this thread...

Never tried but that looks so rad I might have to try it!

Not sure if this is a repost - but phwoar!

report back with findings please!!

Just built up my 'roller, running a Brother Cycles carbon disc fork out front in order to pull sick endos. Absolutely loving this bike! (I have since put a smaller cog on to fix the clearance issues)
