I converted my Pugsley to a drop-bar gravel bike with
Salsa Woodchipper bars and
Gevenalle shifters.
I've used and loved this bike for countless gravel rides. It matches well with my strength and weaknesses - I'm terrible at descending on gravel, this gives me all the float on fast & loose gravel descents; I'm a strong climber, so the extra weight doesn't hurt me.
First race on this set up - 2016 Almanzo 100 -
136th of roughly 1,000 riders registered and 504 finishers (unofficially fastest fatbike)
