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 42–54cm 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 Frameset Frame Surly Disc Trucker: 4130 Chromoly, Natch tubing, double-butted main triangle, TIG welded, ED coated Fork Surly Disc Trucker: 4130 Chromoly, Natch tubing, double-butted main triangle, TIG welded, ED coated Components Seatpost Clamp Surly Stainless 30.0mm Frame Specs Design Wheel/Tire Sizes 26 x 2.0" (42–54cm sizes) 700c x 47mm (56–64cm sizes) Frame Construction 4130 Chromoly, Natch tubing, double-butted main triangle, TIG welded, E.D. coated Fork Construction 4130 Chromoly, Natch tubing, double-butted tapered fork blades, brazed lugs, E.D. coated Rigid Fork Length 26": 376mm (42-54cm) 700c: 390mm (56-64cm) Rear Spacing 12x142 (Axle included) Rear Brake (Rotor) Disc - Flat Mount 140/160 (180mm max) – 25mm thick mount Front Brake (Rotor) Disc - Flat Mount 140/160 (180mm max) – 25mm thick mount Headset - Upper EC34/28.6 Headset - Lower EC34/30 Front Spacing 12x100 (Axle included) Crankset (Max Ring) 1x (Road): 47T 2x (Road): 34/50T 3x (Road): 33/47/56T
