Surly Bike Owners

Amazing that'd be great and a pic if you can...Which ones did you go for?

Cheers

Leftover SKS from my dead Cross Check. It was mostly a frame swap but with an upgrade to discs.

Cheers, any trimming required to get them to fit?

Not of the guards themselves. I think these are 55s. Again. I will need to check later.

Thanks

I think I want a straggler. This has happened because I don't love my arkose.

So my guards are 55s.

You would have ample space on the front fork but it would be awfully close on the rear mudguard. I think you would just about get away with 60s.

Thanks, really appreciate it!

No problems.

Do it

80k route over Salisbury plain yesterday on the straggler, just under half on gravel.

Anyone have a 52cm Straggler F&F for sale?

I’ve been toying with swapping mine for a Kepler. Got a 52cm kepler? :-)

No sorry :(

If I ever get round to picking up a Kepler I’ll be back here hawking the straggler.

Although I seem to remember saying the same thing about my wife’s crosscheck and that’s still here :-/

Thinking about getting a rando rack and bag for my disc tucker...

Any recommendations for rando racks that fit well with the disc trucker forks?

rawland rack, VO Roadrunner rando bag
or
Nitto rack, Ostrich bag from PX, VO decaleur

The Rawland rack looks good, cheers for the stockist link!

The Nitto racks mention attaching to canti studs. The Disc Trucker forks have 3 mounts on the fork: top, middle and guard mounts. Do the Nitto racks definitely fit?

Nitto M18

Ideal, thanks

I googled 'disc trucker rack' and came across this: https://bluelug.com/blog/global/nitto-m-1-racks/

@spotter has forbidden me to mention surly front racks

yeah just hook yourself up with a surly rack tho.

No longer mine, early 2000s Boston Baked Bean Steamroller.
