Surly Pugsley Snow bike

Oct   2005

Double click on thumbnails to enlarge.

 Large Marge Rims are 60MM wide, double wall construction and drilled 17.5mm off center to minimize dish.. Surly Endomorph Tires are 3.7" wide. With 10psi, they are hard as a rock. Front wheel takes a rear hub (135mm) so I built it up as a single speed so I can swap wheels back and forth. Front wheel also takes a rear brake instead of a front brake. 100mm BB shell.

This bike handles amazingly well. It loves switchbacks and can easily handle all the trails I ride with dual suspension bikes. 

And it sure stops traffic :-)

Finally got some snow.. Thanksgiving day morning, during the snowstorm, we rode at the Res. And on the friday after Thanksgiving, we did a 4 1/2 hour ride from the Res to the lookout at Penwood and back, and on Sunday, we did the Res again. Pugs loves the snow!

A few action pictures taken before the snowfall.
