Surly Pugsley 2.0 with 29+ wheels- aka Surly KramPug 2.0; update and a loop of local trails...


The weekend before FORTH FAT 2019 i got out a cycle on the new Surly Pugsley 2.0 having changed a few things, with my older Green 29+ `KramPug` having an Alfine 8 speed internal gear hub (IGH) i re laced the back wheel to a Shimano XT hub and fitted a 10 speed drive chain...

No money spent having all the stuff on other bikes it was built up with my usual choice of a Sunrace 40t cassette and Shimano Zee mech and this time a 32tooth narrow wide chain ring for more road speed with the buzzy Surly Dirt Wizard tyres  swapped out for faster quieter Maxxis Chronicles, and for a bit retro style a Microshift thumb shifter again from another bike...

Was a lovely morning to be out cycling early...



The cold dry April has seen a month of bone dry trails...


Fields are now being sown with potato crops...


Down to see M, busy with Johnny...





Jake dog unusually quiet!...


We went a walk and he soon warmed up to his usual hyper self...

M meanwhile doing some training...


Apparently this is Yoga,  though not sure Johnny makes of it!....


Leaving M as it was quite nippy standing around in the cold easterly breeze. I headed on back towards the John Muir Way via some old green roads towards Kingston...





Fenton tower...



A Brown Hare, common around here jumped up and took off across the field!...




Through Balgone Estate and onto the JMW...



Been a while since there has been a `bike on sign` pic!...


Home and coffee,  New Pug is riding real nice now...



 Wee film edited, not sure of the track title but it is by Boards of Canada...




More soon...
