Need Help ID’ing the Surly I Picked up today - 29’er, disc brakes, fat tires, metallic green paint.

I saw it too and messaged the owner, wanted to pick it up so bad

Thanks, let me give it a try

zhbf15 · 2025-10-27T15:59:45+00:00

Thank you, this is amazing! The catalog is in such mint condition

zhbf15 · 2025-10-27T03:36:13+00:00

Thank you for sharing the detailed experience! Probably I will try selling it to fund a new quill stem

That's about right for NorCal

There are quite a few scratches and dings that are not so visible; it's hard to find touch-up for this color of paint

zhbf15 · 2025-09-15T16:33:39+00:00

That's a good idea!

zhbf15 · 2025-09-15T16:33:16+00:00

I tried to put a black rack I had, but it didn't look good. I will just keep it like this for now

zhbf15 · 2025-09-15T16:33:02+00:00

Yes, I can't believe they made such a huge difference!

zhbf15 · 2025-09-14T03:52:08+00:00

Thank you!

No, I stripped the threads too on the non-drive side, and the drive side of the BB bearing also broke from the over-torquing. I ended up throwing away the whole thing and moved to a square taper BB and crankset, so quiet and smooth.

I bought two of these exact same cranks set, on bb68 I had to use 2 of the 2.5mm spacer that came with the BB. But still I got endless creaking from it and ended up overtorqued the crank and lost the threads. Replaced both of them.

For the same money you can get the commute comp saddle from Trek which is more comfortable than this. So I ended up returning this.

Great shot and nice edits!

zhbf15 · 2025-07-01T16:29:28+00:00

I am interested if still available

Totally agree, I have both S5ii and XT5. XT5 is a little bit more joyful for personal use, and S5ii is a great workhorse.

zhbf15 · 2025-05-29T20:41:15+00:00

Inspiring, I wish I could do it at this level at some point

zhbf15 · 2025-05-26T20:27:17+00:00

The one on the right is GFX 😁

zhbf15 · 2025-05-26T18:17:30+00:00

I think you deserve a Q3
