Surly Set-up .....

My Surly Long Haul Trucker, a world-class touring bicycle. I have around 14,000-15,000 miles on my Trucker. Only had one flat in around 7 1/2 years ... !!! Front tire (Schwalbe Marathon Plus) has had no flats yet, but does need to be replaced. Had a flat on the rear tire (Schwalbe Marathon Plus) last year, after around 12,000-13,000 miles.


I removed my Ortlieb Panniers to experiment cycling with a lighter set-up ..... I rigged up a board attached to the rear Surly Nice rack, and secured my Caradice Long Flap Camper Saddlebag. I can carry two gallons of milk inside the main compartment, and other food items. There are two large outside pockets, big enough to carry a one quart juice bottle.
