In love all over again
Just acquired a Surly Steamroller, SWEEET!!! Had to do something different though, I double twisted the spokes on the Surly hubs. Then after a day of riding a 160 crank with a 52 chain ring and a 17 gear, I had to switch it for a little less tall end with a lot more leverage 175 49x17. The tires are another problem but for now I'm happy riding a soft 28, not sure about their performance in the snow that will be coming, but I doubt I'll be keeping my twisted wheel set on through winter.

do you just ride fixed during the winter commute? I haven't seen you post in here in ages, hence the question. regardless, i'm looking forward to putting some cross tires on my fixed when/if the weather requires it. nothing but a little cold and some rain around here thus far.
