apples and rutabegas again, squiggy!
don't matter what racks, if any, you mount on the surly.
why? the surly IS a touring bicycle. (possibly even "inferior" steel?)
'tis designed to carry the weight...with real touring-grade wheels.
the 920 is NOT a touring bike. it's merely touring-style....and not
in a good way. what idiot marketingeneers would put those massive
racks on a bike not intended for heavy-duty touring? i mean, c'mon,
check out those wheels!
nah, the 920 is for middle-aged farts who wanna look terminator
cool. you know, they overpay for an image. they need the style,
forget the substance. but then, these are the guys that name
their bikes before they even buy them. as though mass-produced
inferior carp had a soul. heck, i hear some guys even buy
stickers with their bikes name, again, before purchase. sheesh!
