I’m a roadie myself, never understood the single speed. Give me gears! 😂 was thinking about getting a gravel bike, but now I kinda want a fat tire bike as winter is pretty much here.
Found your videos via suggested on my side bar for making knives. I actually stepped away from knife collecting and got into cycling all out but I do road and cyclocross. Go tubeless and never look back. The rotational weight of those large tubes really hurts especially with your fixed gear setup. Now on to catching up with more of your videos!
Always been a big fan of Surly Bikes (I've owned a 1x1, Troll, and KM or 2...a few of each actually, LOL), and rode primarily SS's for about the last decade I mtn biked (I don't ride anymore). Good stuff here :D
Im about to buy a new KM and i really would like to have a 29+ option. Surly says that the rubber will touch the seatstay if you put on bigger than 2.5 tyre. How do yo make it fit? Do you have your dimention for rim and tyre? Ps love youre bike!
I’m an old broken roadie as well...just can’t get my head around fixies...but if I had one I would drop a 13 on the rear and 52 on the front and make it a real challenge 😬 and you can get some speed to boot. I would recommend a dry silicone lube on your chain/rings for winter riding...the dirt and grit don’t collect on the hubs or gears...come summer go back to synthetic oil. Never had a problem with my work horse Marin Rocky Ridge with XT doing that. I can’t ever imagine taking my Chesini x-uno out in the winter...that’s Italian sacrilege! I love a good ride to clear the head. Good on you!
I love SS too on my troll, I try going SS so many times, but am forced to get back to my 3x8 speed drive train for practical reasons....I live in the Himalayas, so it's always going down steep slopes which is ok, but then you gotta climb back up again and that's just not pratical here.....but yeah I love SS!
Plz more knife videos. I love u and support your content but I can’t watch these all the way though because I’m not interested. I may be the only one but I just like to watch u make knives because you are amazing at it man.
I was skeptical until riding a Pugsley with H-bars on it at a Surly demo ride. Despite being on snow-covered twisty singletrack I was surprised that I had plenty of control. The comfort and leverage felt fine, although I didn't leave the ground at all, so I still wonder how they perform in terms of levering the bike around in a hurry. They sure are comfortable, give space for gear & bar bags, and work well for 'normal' riding.
I would if I didn’t ride in -30😆 They don’t work so good when it’s super cold. I actually want to upgrade to Avid BB7s. I liked those even more than any hydraulic brakes I’ve owned. 👍

Single speed for life! So impressed that you ride surly!
Love love love those Brooks saddles!
Cool video, man. Really enjoyed it. Thanks 👍
Dream garage setup right there!!!
Thanks 👍
I have a SS KM, with tubeless 40’s, and drop bars. Love it!
Sweet! I’m always thinking about some cow chipper bars with a V.O. Goose-neck stem. And then the new 11spd bar-end shifters. 😀👍

Thanks so much! I think I need to make the jump to tubeless. I just need to settle on a tire I really like first 😆👍

Do you have your dimention for rim and tyre?
Ps love youre bike!
Same question!
Slide it back in the dropouts. Also all 3.0"s are not true 3.0s.

Dude. Now ya got me thinking about getting a bike for this summer. I realize I actually miss mountain biking.
Get one
Inspired me to do a little something on my bicycle ...
Woohoo! 👍
What is the tensioner called?
Awesome
How did I miss this video!
Where did you get the handle bars you have
Jonesbike 👍
It’s hard to go back to a single speed isn’t it?
I love SS too on my troll, I try going SS so many times, but am forced to get back to my 3x8 speed drive train for practical reasons....I live in the Himalayas, so it's always going down steep slopes which is ok, but then you gotta climb back up again and that's just not pratical here.....but yeah I love SS!
If the RUclips thing doesn't work out you could be a bike courier :)
I can't do a track stand without looking at the ground...
Hope it works out for you this winter. Enjoy the ride.
I would have loved to watch you doing the opening to this video. Was it the first try? Love the vids. Cheers 🥂
Thank you!
You need to put a Briggs & Stratton on that thing.
you should go to a carbon belt drive with a internal hub then you have gears and simplicity
changing it to single speed is like changing your smartphone for a landline phone
Hahaha! 👍
A noble steed.
Thank you! 👍

I don't mind these videos and if he didn't upload this then there wouldn't be a video at all sense he's doing this and not making a knife.
Thank you! 🙏👍
Hi jeremy
Now all you need are some pogies.
👍🚴♂️

get some hydraulic brakes they work so much better

Simple Little Life yeah true do whatever you like mate
Go tubeless! You will never go back!
I want to👍
0th
hahaha!😆👍
Get a fat bike with studded tires for winter riding
I have a moonlander but I don’t need studded tires for the riding I do.
NOT, but hub gears are nice in winter
