The newly redesigned Surly Disc Trucker 26' Steel Frameset in Pea Lime Soup color, size 54cm, is a top - notch touring bike. It offers great versatility and dependability, whether you're commuting daily or embarking on a trans - continental journey. The fork blade three - pack mounts let you carry more stuff. With a low bottom bracket and long chainstays, it provides comfort and stability when fully loaded. The increased stack height and better stand - over clearance, along with ample space for larger tires and fenders, make it perfect for long - distance rides. Key features include a 100% Chromoly steel frame and fork with a double - butted main triangle and E.D. coating for longer frame life. There are braze - ons for fenders, racks, and more, plus spare spoke holders for rough roads. The fork blade three - pack mounts offer more mounting options and routing for Dynamo hubs. The redesigned front and rear dropouts fit 12mm thru - axles and flat - mount disc brakes. It can accommodate 26 x 2.1' tires with or without fenders. Due to a performance issue, we've changed the front derailleur of the 26' Disc Trucker. A new derailleur and the necessary shims for proper installation are included in the bike box.
Using your Surly Disc Trucker frameset is a breeze. First, assemble it following the included instructions. When loading up for a tour, use the fork blade three - pack mounts and the braze - ons for racks and fenders to carry all your essentials. This bike is great for both daily commutes and long - distance trips. For safety, make sure the 12mm thru - axles are properly tightened. When it comes to maintenance, regularly clean the frame and fork, especially after riding in dirty or wet conditions. Check the brakes and derailleurs frequently. The E.D. coating on the frame helps protect it, but avoid harsh chemicals. If you're replacing the front derailleur, use the shims provided in the box for a proper fit. Enjoy your rides on this reliable and versatile touring bike!
