Why Disc Brake Touring Bikes? Disc Trucker enjoys the same reputation as Long Haul Trucker: It’s one of the best-riding and most value-packed drop bar touring bikes out there. Sometimes, however, a combination of load, climate, and terrain demands a bit more braking performance than a standard rim-brake LHT can provide. That’s where the newly redesigned Disc Trucker comes in. Packing reliable stopping power and a horde of useful mounting points, shortened chainstays up the Disc Trucker’s stiffness and maneuverability around corners. Add in improved fit and handling under load, plus captured thru-axles for tool-free removal and installation, and the Disc Trucker is ready to help you meet — or dodge — your daily obligations. Dynamo routing on the fork, plus three-pack mounts on the blade and every braze-on you’ll ever need for racks, fenders, water bottle cages, and more 12mm thru-axles for a stiffer feel and increased stability when fully loaded Shortened seat tube and slightly sloped top tube for improved stand-over clearance, plus increased stack height for a more upright and comfortable riding position on those long hauls Spec’d with the Truck Stop Bar and tubeless ExtraTerrestrial tires for dependable handling and traction Flat-mount disc brakes Frame sizes 42–56cm are available with 26” diameter wheels, while frame sizes 56–64cm are available with 700c diameter wheels Clearance for 26” x 2.1” tires with or without fenders, or 700c x 47mm with or without fenders Build Kit Frameset Frame Surly Disc Trucker: 4130 Chromoly, Natch tubing, double-butted main triangle, TIG welded, ED coated Color Hi-Viz Black Fork Surly Disc Trucker: 4130 Chromoly, Natch tubing, double-butted main triangle, TIG welded, ED coated Components Headset Cane Creek 40 Seatpost Clamp Surly Stainless, 30.0mm Seatpost ProMax 27.2, 350L, non-offset (42-50), offset (52-64) Stem ProMax 31.8 4 bolt Grips/Bar Tape Black Cork Saddle WTB Volt Sport Handlebar Surly Truckstop Bar Drivetrain Front Derailleur Shimano Sora R3030 Rear Derailleur Shimano Alivio M4000 SGS Cassette Shimano Alivio, 11-34t, 9 speed Chain KMC X9 Crankset Shimano Alivio 48x36x26t Shifter Shimano Sora 3x9 Brake Levers Shimano Sora Brake Calipers TRP Spyre C Bottom Bracket Shimano BB-RS500 Rotors TRP 160mm front and rear Wheels Front Tire Surly ExtraTerrestrial 26x46 Rear Tire Surly ExtraTerrestrial 26x46 Front Hub Novatec 12x100, 6 bolt, 36H Rear Hub Novatec 12x142, 6 bolt, 36H Rim Alex Adventurer 2
