In what ways is it better to ride? I'm so attached to my surly but well aware it may just be a bit shit
yoshy-
Likewise, I'd taken my Straggler to around 10 countries in my 4 year ownership, it'd become super sentimental.
The straggler just always felt dead, it travelled across rough ground with a sort of leady dampening that just felt numb. The Wolverine just has a real spring to it, it's lively through the fork and the rear end when you pedal.
I haven't given this a proper run off-road, but I get the feeling the Straggler would be more fun in the mud - it felt more like a big rigid MTB, this a little more road bike like.
One thing I am a little dissapointed with on the Wolverine is the tyre clearance, it's pretty much the same as the Straggler.

I can't say if the headtube is longer or not, but I've started putting some miles on this and it's 10x nicer to ride than my Straggler was.
I've since gone back to the Alpkit Fu Manchu bars, it's like a big bmx.
Can this frameset really fit 2.1s? My Rocket Ron's definetly dont leave any room for mud or untrue wheels...
