Just picked up my new Karate Monkey today. There are bow another set of braze ons on the seatstays for the lower part of a rack (this frame isn’t for people who like super clean lines).

That means you can now run discs and a normal rack with complete ease! Hurrah!

pics please.

Hate to spoil the party but, I thought I’d read on the Surly site that they don’t recommend (or warranty ) using discs AND pannier rack on the Karate Monkey !
( seems strange )

Here it is: Read the last paragraph:

The salsa fargo has rack and disc mounts too…

Lots of bikes have rack and disc mounts and have for years.

No! The latest karate monkeys come with a second set of braze ons half way down the seat stays as well as the usual rack/guard mounts by the dropout.

I assume they are for mounting a “normal” rack to a 29er – clearance is an issue normally. I will take a picture tomorrow.

My new KM has a extra braze on between that cable guide and the hanger. Will post a picture tomo.

Like the singular peregrine then?
