I had some handlebars lying around so decided to build a new bike. What frame goes with H-bars<\/a> like PB & J? It’s a Pug<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Got a new toy. Took it for a ride across Marsden Moor to the coffee shop today. Lots of fun pointing it in the right direction and letting it roll over anything and everything. See what I mean? Surly<\/a> must have been been thinking of something else when they named their urban fixie thing the Steamroller<\/a> This is the real deal. Although it’s not very intuitive in the steering department. More like point it to Nome and don’t change course til we get there.<\/p>\n

Riding back on the road from the shop it had 20 psi in the tyres. That was dropped to 16 for the start of today’s ride and dropped a further couple while we were out. Nice and grippy. What other bike lets you run such low, traction happy pressures? If in doubt, let some out.<\/p>\n

Used a Mr Whirly chainset because of it’s multi use adaptability and it’s very shiny.  The MRP chain keeper is there for keeping the chain on when gears are needed. 36:18 wasn’t the right gear choice by the way, tyre diameter is similar to a 29er so 36:20 would be more useful.<\/p>\n

So, there it is. Pugsley is fab. Go ride one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
