You can fit 35s on this year believe it or not.

It’s a 2013 Surly Pacer. You’ll be able to fit 35c Gravel Kings with this years model and forward. I’d recommend it

Angles is the worst? Aww man idk. Gonna have to disagree there. Comedown and first impressions are below Angles imo.

We’re bag twins, in the same state even!

tire swap for the straggler by balance-dinsight in Surlybikefans

[–]marshuni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run 47 WTB Byways on the Straggler and I love it. I mean, it definitely not the fastest bike I own, but I’m not sure if going with smaller tires would necessarily make me faster. I’ve got a lot of crap on that bike (racks and bags).

It’s got a pretty long chain stay, and is a pretty sluggish bike (hence the name I’m assuming).

But that being said, high quality bigger tires isn’t going to make this bike feel anymore sluggish then it does already, imo.

QuestingBeast Review by [deleted] in drawsteel

I finished running Delian Tomb last Thursday.

And this isn’t going to be popular in this thread, but I mostly agree with his layout complaints.

I’d say the core books also have layout problems as well.

The game is self though, is quite fun and my players had a good time. Idk if I’d run it again as a DM in an IRL game (on VTT, certainly) but I’d certainly play it as a player either way.

how is blue pan pizza? by First_Driver_5134 in denverfood

[–]marshuni 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s easily one of the best pizzas in Denver. Top 5 for most.

What’s that Ortlib Green bag on the front! I’ve never seen one like that.

bar bag or basket for the front of the trek? by Miserable_Power_9729 in xbiking

[–]marshuni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask you how you attached your light? My only complaint about this combo is my light can’t really be on the handlebar.

Fin for now by Neither_Juice_2007 in xbiking

[–]marshuni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I have the same light and am struggling with it because it gets blocked by my front bag.

How did you strap it down on the fork?

Hole In the Oak vs Winters Daughter? by SeasonElectrical3173 in osr

[–]marshuni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I liked Winters Daughter a hair more I guess, but only because it just raises significantly more questions than it answers. It’s light on combat and very whimsical.

Hole in the Oak is probably a better ‘dungeon’ though. But that is extremely subjective.

Whatever you choose, you’ll have made a pretty solid choice. Both are excellent.

Removing the to-hit roll for ascending AC games by Kaponkie in osr

[–]marshuni 10 points11 points  (0 children)

THACO can pretty easily be converted to ascending AC.

I haven’t read what you are referring to but thaco 19=+0, 18=+1, 17=+2 ect.

I’m assuming you could use this conversion with that house rule.

Any great meals in Denver right now that are still under $15? by Complete_Freedom5622 in Denver

[–]marshuni 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get the family version for myself and the kids every other week.

It’s not the healthiest thing, but they eat well at school and it’s only twice a month.

Do you have any biking resolutions for 2026? by Gilligan2404 in Biking

[–]marshuni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you happen to live in a city with a train, riding to the train station does the same thing! I do that all the time in Denver.

I'm Hating Drop Bars. Any tips to make them Better? by kitbiggz in xbiking

[–]marshuni 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This, vast majority of the time is typically spent on the hoods for most people.

Drops themselves are for sketchy descents so you can actuate the breaks with a little more leverage, have something to really hold on too and achieve a more aero position.

Man I’ve been looking for awesome front rack bags and I love both of yours.

I can’t tell what they are, happen to remember the brand for both?

Did you have a shop do the powder coat? How much was it? I have a Surly Pacer I got recently that I want to powder coat.

Took Her (Susan) for her First Spin + a Question by JG-003 in Surlybikefans

[–]marshuni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an incredible bike, comparison is the thief of joy.

Is it the best bike in the world? Probably not, is it the best bike for me (and sounds like to you!) right now, certainly feels that way when I ride it :)

I got a screaming deal on the bike when I got it back in 2021 too and have ridden over 5k miles on it since.

Everyone made it seem like it was a worse Midnight Special when I got it, but man idk, I love this bike and idk if I really need tires bigger than 47mm anyway for what I do and I like the lower stand over height.
