That it also was a standard setter for geometry of 29"ers for years only cements its place more firmly as a "classic" of the big wheeled era in mountain biking.

But it does kind of go against Surly's "less is better" philosophy. Still would be pretty cool!

I have just had un26 bb issues restoring a bike for a customer. Let's say that wd40 left overnight, a little part turned on the lathe used with the tool and QR skewer and a 2 ft breaker bar with me standing on it eventually moved it. Good luck.<br />Roastahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00903256575005521859noreply@blogger.com
