Jut got a Surly Straggler and am looking for rear rack suggestions and good front, and frame bags. Any input would be appreciated especially since I have found differing information on mounting racks to the straggler.

Not sure why nobody has responded to this for 6 days, but what is this differing information? Surly's are well-known as do-everything bikes (adequate-to-good for all purposes, although perhaps stellar at few/none).

Any rack that is billed as compatible with disc brakes should work fine.

I'm fond of Axiom racks. Don't see why it would be a problem with the Straggler.

Thanks all, was reading somewhere that the setup on the straggler is not compatible with all racks. I thinks it has to do with the disc brake setup, I agree that a disc compatible rack should work.

I just picked up Surly's Front Rack, I'll post pics once I install this weekend.


Can't wait to turn the straggs into a war rig

I have the Surly front and rear racks for touring, very good product. For commuting, I really like the Topeak rack and their modular system. With the Explorer version I can run panniers and a rack pack. I can choose rack pack or basket and swap in seconds. REI has it in stock.

Tubus Disco rack in the rear works great on my Straggler. Somafab front porteur rack in the front.
