Surly Steamroller owners...

looks great. here’s mine:

currently set up 650b

That looks so rad! What fenders are they ?

that looks stunning!

Hive mind. I've just done a few trials with bigger tyres and mudguards and can see i could make this work however the front gets uncomfortably close to the downtube (53cm frame). It may end up SS one day but for now it's fixed and i'm a little concerned by the overlap. Am i over thinking this or would a 45mm rake give me another 7mm clearance without buggering the handling?

With all this in mind anyone got a picture of a Steamroller with a Pacer fork?

Surprise. It's a steamroller.

That's great

What fork is this?

End of an era

EDIT: Never mind! Someone from the Finnish fgss scene sent Surly a question about this and got an answer that they have no plans to end production of the Steamroller :)

Current setup, killing the streets

woow, no more steam rollers, I've never been totally happy with mine, no fender mounts, no second bottle cage bosses, not quite enough clearance.

But I've still ridden it(checks strava) 39,163 miles, and road home from Glasgow to Portsmouth on it.

I hope to get all these things fixed when it gets a respray this summer, perhaps next summer, but I've been saying that for years.

Has anyone got info on what width Velo Orange mudguards work best with a standard Steamroller frameset? I’ve got some SKS jobbies on there, which are fine, but they rattle a lot on rough terrain.

My roller just rolled past 40k miles

Did you get an answer? I have 35mm VO hammered mudguards on mine.

The were very, very, very fiddly to set up. You will need an abundance of patience.

This is the current setup. Surprised myself with this but it is very entertaining for a change.

What's the clearance is like on the steamroller fork? I'm picking up a F&F on Friday and have a nice set of 32mm gravel kings I had earmarked for it...

Yeah that'll be no problem, I've got 32 with fenders on mine currently.

Ta, did you need long drop callipers?

Yeah you will, on the front at least(only got a front brake)

I should think you will on the rear too.

Planet X have the tektro long drops for £20 plus postage
