Surly Krampus 29+…
Updates:
- Rabbit Hole 50mm rim will work nicely with a Pugsley offset, but not with a Moonlander’s 28mm offset
- So Pugsley owners can now run 29er MTB wheels/tires
- Looking at the clearances in my Pugsley frame compared to a 29er wheel with a 2.4″ tire on it I don’t think the Pugsley will have the clearance to run a Krampus wheel/tire
- Some Krampus porn on MTBR.com
- Krampus wheel + tire has an diameter of 30.5″
- Dirt Rag Krampus first impressions
- complete bikes will come with sparkly green paint as shown in these photos
- Surly Krampus photos are on Flickr here
- Some Krampus questions answered on the Surly Blog PT1

This bike isnt even on the Surly website yet. I looks, possibly, like my next rig! I’d been leaning towards a Salsa Fargo or a Pugsley but a 29 by 3″ might be the ride!
That’s a nice one!
Maybe it’s time to explain the N+1 rule to my wife. 🙂
Who wants a really cheap Monocog®? I just saw my new bike…
Yeah, this may indeed be the middle ground I’ve been looking for between my old 26″ hardtail and a Pug. Though, you are kind of locked in to a very specific wheel set and I assume tires as well since there probably aren’t many 29×3 makers out there yet.
So how different is this from the Ogre? More stretched out/widened to accomodate fatter tires?
Krampus – has room for 29er rims + 3″ rubber while the Ogre maxes out at 2.5″ rubber.
Ogre has all sorts of touring-esque brazeons on frame + fork and it looks like the Krampus will only have the MTB-ey 2 water bottle cages – although that is not 100% as we are working off photos which may be prototypes.
I like beets!!
[…] this nice photo over at MTBR.com showing the the sparkly green paint that the Surly Krampus complete bikes will come with in 2013. Sadly if you buy just a frame/fork I understand they come only in basic […]
