I wish Surly would offer with a Shimano or Bosch mid-drive. That Bosch with the Nuvinci hub and autoshift is crazy cool.

I think that from what I am hearing, I am going to be better off with the Big Dummy after all. Not only from the singularity of the frame, but from the handling department as well. Cost would end up being less for me, actually, if I went with the Big Dummy, so there is that as well.

Couple good videos on it on their YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/2uNk3TzgT_0?t=28m4s<br /><br />That link (if it comes through) starts you at 28min in and should be a photo of a Krampus with the Leap bolted on.Tim S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18319186774200731137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-10174897187672369892016-01-14T09:53:01.425-05:002016-01-14T09:53:01.425-05:00You wouldn't need a Krampus with the Leap.

The Leap is freaking great and cures the stiffness challenge that was always there with the FreeRad. Ross @ Xtracycle has been testing the Leap on the Krampus for bikepacking.Tim S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18319186774200731137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-55236704957120670962016-01-13T14:06:28.159-05:002016-01-13T14:06:28.159-05:00@ Doug Goodenough - I know Rohloff has a "win...@ Doug Goodenough - I know Rohloff has a "winter" weight oil you can use for the internals. I would think one could use something that would make it work okay in colder temperatures.

I think they were asking $900 which includes a drop bar shifter. Still pricey for a "want to give it a try", but I thought I'd mention it to you.BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175134318927287110noreply@blogger.com
