Surly Bike Owners

I stuck 660mm loops on my straggler when I fucked my shoulder. Didn't return to drops.

I have loops on my cross check for gravel duties and it's really fun.

@andy_k @IdealStandard what do you mean by loops?

Jones Loop bars e.g.

Ahh I feel silly now, I hadn't seen them referred to loops before ha.

Can someone positively ID the size of this Pacer on ebay please, the seller is not sure.

eBay item number: 162916486441

surely send this this?

and get them to measure the ST and TT as they have 20mm jumps

Looking at the head tube length and the eBay pic of him measuring the seattube, I'm gonna guess at a 54cm frame. Just ask him to measure the head tube and toptube lengths, that'll confirm it for you.
How tall are you?

Thanks I thought someone would recognize immediately by the size of the headtube.

How big is your Disco Tomato?

Inside leg 32"

I'm 5'8" tall/short and I've got a 50cm frame.

Looks the same size as my 54cm, before i got the 50cm i sold to jontea

i'm 5'7" 30"inseam

Looks amazing! Which sea is that?

What frozen treat awaits you in the bidon?

Gulf of Bothnia

That is stunning. What are the disks? What are the pedals? How long does it take to pump the tyres with the lezyne?

Backdrop quite pretty too.

203 in front 180 rear sram disks, one ups pedals. Well if the tire are flat it takes a while. It's the high volume version. Never ending inflating and deflating with fatbikes :)

hehe, yeah i bet. I've got the high volume one too, but i'm only inflating 26" 1.75's or 2's.

really nice - that's where a fat bike belongs as far as I'm concerned... perfect, enjoy!

My lovely campag cross check...

(it is for sale on here, so I guess this is also a shameless plug - apologies)

This post wins. Surly Owners thread goals right there.

Who's seen the bridge club then?

Decent entry level bikepacking rig for the penny counters, or too similar to what surly are offering already?

If I hadn't gotten a Genesis Vagabond I'd be all over it. Though I am a bit miffed that they don't offer it as a frameset.

Nah i think it looks rad, and lots of differences from current offerings. I like the 2.8" clearance!

Yeah I think it looks mint. Certainly going to consider it when I feel I need a heavier tourer.

@MisterMikkel at least full-build only points towards greater confidence in the off road touring/distance market. Sure they'll release a frameset only within a year or two.

Go to mudguards for steamroller for max tyre clearance? Snazziest workaround for lack of fork eyelet?

Possibly a dumb question. What skewers are people using — between discs and dynamo these skewers are a pain in the ass.....

Can’t get a good clamp/tighten cause I can’t turn the clamp around....
