I just see this as being less secure if the skewer begins to loosen for whatever reason

I love Slim’s hashtag too, but that bike is fucking dead as… dead. Haven’t seen real sizes of Stragglers in many moons (~Thanksgiving) and aren’t expecting any.
so maybe they’re gonna introduce something with nonadjustable dropouts?
or is the Midnight Special the replacement for the Straggler?
can this newer better Surly simply stop making old products, besides the Fixxer freehub body and Conundrum fat unicycle?
All crosschecks are crosschecks with different paintjobs

Is Slim an industry person? He has some pretty bikes.

Best use of a surly and a cinelli all in one

Yeah but getting someone else to “build up” your fixed gear tall bike makes me want kick that dude in the balls so hard.

those cost more and are heavier/shallower than my light bicycle wheels.
Tried this route twice… chacos X any modern trail pedal is vastly superior.

I’d be interested to try something like that for the hell of it. With vee rubber tires I don’t know how you could really evaluate it though as I’m sure those ride like shit
Idunno I’ve had a few vee rubber tires and they were all surprisingly decent for the price
as simple as they are, Vee Tire has about a 100 year technology advantage over Coker who made all the original 36" tire options using their historical reenactment automobile equipment
WTF
