4” is no longer adequate for width, apparently. Tires are getting harder to buy too.
The thing I like most about the Pugs is that I can use standard spaced MTB parts...particularly the Alfine 8. Maybe it’s time to sell it now though before it gets so obsolete that it can’t be sold.
I'm trying to understand this. Are you saying you think the pug will be obsolete because you can't buy 4" tires or rims that fit or because you can't buy those particular rims from Surly?
