Just about to buy myself an Orange Crush
has a Winter bike then I had seen the Surly Pugsy.
Looks a fun near zero maintenance bike.
Whats your views and eperiances on this bike.
Can you put a suspension fork on this for fun factor
Apart from riding in snow and sand where else can you
ride.
its tyres are filled with sausages!
Nice one MrNutt LOL But I dont plan to hit the, Walls 😉
On a bad day, it's all the weight of DH tyres/wheels without the grip. On a good day, it's all the simplicity of rigid with a bit of give.
I certainly wouldn't buy one unless you plan to ride in snow or sand. The tyres are designed for long distance on soft surfaces so they don't have much in the way of side knobs. Leaning the bike over gets you very little grip. All the mods for fat tyres make kit choice difficult... Special tyres at £85 each, only two BB choices I know of (Surly, or FSA), two rear hubs, rear brake calipers at both ends.
In the UK, I rode the Dyfi Enduro, all of Afan, a multi-day Welsh bivvy ride, and lots of local trails on it. So its all do-able, but most of the time a normal hardtail is more fun/easier. OTOH, I also rode it in Alaska and Finland and floated past people with mere 2.5" tyres.
Aidan.
Surly have a new fat tyre coming out with bigger nobs.
First reports on them seem to be very good.
Thanx for info Aidan still think like look mental
