The two old Pugsleys are set up and will be ridden until worn out and retired,
The Wednesday and Pugsley 2.0 have both 29+ and Fat wheels and will be the long term bikes in use and will prob see my riding days out with these steel frames lasting over 10 years i have discovered..
All my bikes are set up with tools on board, tubeless tyres, Ergon grips, low maintenance Avid BB7 brakes, low maintenance Microshift thumb shifters, mech Gears are Shimano Zee 1x 10 speed with Sunrace 11-40t cassette - with a 22t front ring bail out gear for the odd ride in the hills,
