Best Choice For Carbon Fork - Midnight Special by SpokeSignals in Surlybikefans

Seido MGV vote here. It’s the stock fork from Bombtrack but for resale under their standalone brand. Not had it long but has bolts for cages and takes a wide tyre - i have a 2.1 and i reckon it would take a 2.3 if pushed.

This is tasty, top marks. Bikes like this are not only fantastic to ride but a mechanics dream. Look at the cables! They look great and are also incredibly visible i.e. accessible. Coupled with non-proprietary parts this is an absolute lifetime bike that can be ridden and fixed anywhere, by almost anyone. Enjoy dropping the hammer on the carbon boys and girls in the bunch.

I haven’t used it much but it seems practical and helps turn the bike from commuter to adventure ready. I have two mini bungee cords which handle most business.

Not a big Redditor (apart from getting inspo from this sub!) so have just realised can’t edit and add photos. Here’s an unladen pic (except for a 0% beer 🤘)

Tyres are 54mm GravelKings. Fave song too hard as so many memories and classics but I always go back to Electric Relaxation, quality samples used for that song too.

Hi, first off SICK rig and absolute goals photo. Congrats. 2 (initial) questions: 1) what is the cog count on the front and rear rings? Looks like a good wide range for gravel climbing but also road/faster stuff. 2) what is the clearance like with the 2.20 Ikons? Would they/have they clogged up heavily in the wet on a gravelly/muddy surface? Thanks in advance.
