Great bike! So inspiring! 🥰Happy trails and safe journeys😊
I see a lot of innovative setups on your bike. Whoever built this bike, must be a great mechanic.
Thanks! New Orleans, Louisana's Bicycle Michaels' Tim Eskew is who built it, and he did an absolutely amazing job. 10/10 would recommend 👍
I tested out the 2020 disc trucker at my local bike shop yesterday and it was such a nice, comfortable ride. It's a little pricey considering the stock components it comes with. Your setup is wonderful and essentially like a dream bicycle for me. Well done!
It's an amazing ride! Thanks for the bike love!
WoW thanks for such a complete insight of your bike setup. Learnt a lot from your knowledge and experiences.......
You're most welcome!
Hi, very nice bike, I have 2021 disck trucker green pea from stock’s. I like your saddle bags seriously 😄, very practical 👍.
I was a full carbon before, but my life style as physician with 50y old make me sedentary with lot of work. So I’m no a bike rider any more and this bike is very comfortable to me. I bought this bike with skepticism, but I do not regret it, it takes me where I want, and I finish the route without any pain or discomfort.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the comment! Congrats on the Surly purchase! I couldn't agree more. Most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Thanks for watching!
Lovely Bicycle with high end components. Love your buckets!
Thank you so much!!!
@@RedeemingEden Welcome
Thank you for a wonderful rewue. Hope you manidge. Your goal!
I really liked bin panniers, great idea!
Love your set up. I’m about to buy a disc trucker soon and glad to have watched your vlog and get some tips on how to make mine as good as yours. Currently, I’m using a marin four corners but not a fan of a downslope top tube that’s why I’m getting the disc trucker. 😊👍
Hello ...i am confused between the fourcorners and a surly build (LHT ) ..other than the drop bars, did you find any other aspect to be bad for the four corners ...is the chromoly steel build the same for surly and 4C ? ...i am asking this because here in India a surly build will cost much higher than a factory marlin 4C...please help..thanks in advance 😀
Thanks! Love the Surly DT!
Amazing setup! Great job! Very inspiring Thank you
Thanks!!! I appreciate the comment, and the love for the channel!
Thanks for the review. I’m considering the disk trucker in a 62cm. I like the bike but for $2 grand the components seem rather low end . I wonder what I’d be looking at to buy the frame $700 and have it built with a full GRX group say a 2x11? I do like the XT crank. Don’t need the dynamo hub. Looks great. Any info appreciated . Thanks .
I have a 3x10(44/33/22, 11-42) & I used my 22/42 a lot while touring up big hills laden with gear.
nice video he disc trucker is good for commuter and touring as well as for gravel please explain thanks
Thanks!!! I've been impressed with the Disc Trucker on gravel. Touring is definitely what it's made for. Commuting, definitely. There are better gravel bikes than the Disc Trucker. But, it would work just fine.
Very nice bike setup! Happy trails and safe travels 😊🎸👍
Six String Steve!!! Thanks, brother! 🎯💯🔥
What a wunderful bike! I'm working on a similar surly project and I was excited to see a solution for mounting the back light on the rear rack! Where can I get this adapter to convert from two wholes to just one?
Thank you so much! I'm not entirely sure where my LBS got that part. I think it may have come with the SON light. My bike mechanic, after 30 years, has retired because of a tumor, so I have no way to find out that info for you. I'd try SON first. My apologies!
Beautiful
Thanks!!!
Great set up. Interesting to see your drive train. I'm trying to figure out a way to make climbing easier. Will investigate the GRX groupset.
Thanks, Jason! Hill climbing is a dream. Over 5,000 miles now on this drivetrain. Any lower, and I'd fall over climbing, any higher I could only use on a downhill. iMO, it is the absolute perfect gearing.
The lowest gear-inch you get with solely GRX components is around 18 for 700/40 tyres. If you're aiming at even lower margin, then you need to mix components from various groupsets/brands.
15:28 I really don't understand why companies producing touring bike still overlook the need for the simple thing as rear kickstand mount plate integrated into the dropout. Luckily, some other companies like Trek, Marin, and most of EU makers understand that. Why Surly is so stubborn, I don't know. I personally use it multiple times a day, and while I like clickstand and other lifesavers, a rear kickstand paired with front kickstand is the way to go for a loaded bike, and it takes you only a fraction of second to deploy them. Surly offers central kickstand mount plate, but the problem with central kickstand is that it block the anticlockwise rotation of cranks, which is useful when you need to lubricate the chain and there's nowhere to lean your bike to.
Couldn't agree more!
I had a Surly LHT 52cm 26in 2008 with V-Brakes now making a Soma Saga Disc 52cm 26in wheels
NICE!!! How do you like the Soma?
@@RedeemingEden nice frame but not built up yet I'll be taking it in hopefully sometime next week to the bike shop I need somebody to help me in San Diego California to do it I called one of my friends
That's awesome! Have fun with that build! I don't know anyone in San Diego, or I'd give them a heads up for you.
I have aLHT in 26in wheel and a soma saga 700c wheel both wonderful bikes!!
@@garydavis9844 NICE!!! 🙂
What size is your click stand? I have a Surly Disc Trucker too
You crank pretentioner (cover) is missing.
Did it work properly the XT 11speed Casette with GRX RD?
Surly LHT the best
It sure is!!! Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for sharing your set up! Please can you inform me what size your Velo Orange fenders are? I suspect they are 50mm or 52mm, given that your tyres are 40mm... Additionally, do you have any installation tips/hacks for the Disc Trucker?
Sure thing! They are the 45mm listed here: www.amazon.com/Velo-Orange-Hammered-Alloy-Fender/dp/B00PUUDQOC/ref=asc_df_B00PUUDQOC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312094794167&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14783868756933311410&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9017694&hvtargid=pla-569992534451&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=63784736042&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312094794167&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14783868756933311410&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9017694&hvtargid=pla-569992534451
I think I was wrong in the video, because my tires are actually 35mm. The max for these Velo Orange is listed as 37mm. The only tip I have is that we had to stack washers under the front arms that go to the end of the fork to get them out far enough to twist out the thru axle because of the racks being so close. Other than that, it was a pretty easy install. Hope this helps!
That’s cool!?# blessu too
Thanks!!!
Thank for introducing your setup to us! IMO it‘s a shame you can‘t use 180mm or even bigger disc brakes on it. I mean it is a bike for touring while carrying a lot of weight. I would prefer Vbrakes instead of small 160mm discs.
You're welcome! I couldn't agree more.
@@RedeemingEden but of course it is a great bike!
Mos def!!! I still will probably braze on v-brake posts at some point before I go out west again.
Love the bike
Thanks!!!
Hello and congratulations for the video, I'm also buying a disc trucker where you bought the stick that holds the bike instead of the stand?
Thanks so much
Thanks! Congrats on buying the disc trucker! The stand is called a clickstand. Here's the website: www.click-stand.com Make sure you read and follow all the instructions, and you'll be good to go!
I was hoping for more ado.
Lime soup!
I really enjoyed your video as I just purchased a stock 2021 Disc trucker and am customizing a few things. I was wondering what width your fenders were?
Thanks, and congratulations!!! My fenders are Velo Orange Hammered fenders. They are 45mm wide. And my tires are 35, not 40 like I said in the video. Hope this helps!
Maximum space in the fork is suitable for 50mm fenders.
I'll definitely go wider fenders and tires on the ride next year. Sand is sloppy with these 35's...
Nice setup. How much for the whole setup, including labor for the bike shop, excluding any removable items such as locks, pannier (boxes), tents etc. With so much customization, did you consider another brand such as Co-Motion. Did you choose the bike shop because they were local or because they had special experience in customizing surly bikes. Thanks for you help
Thanks! Without add ons it was about $6,000. With locks, panniers, and other add ons (not camping or vlogging) about $7,000. I looked at every brand very meticulously, and gladly chose Surly because they met or exceeded all my needs like completely custom personalization. I researched the two closest Surly dealers, and my LBS. Sent the parts list, asked a solid completion date and compared prices and mechanic experience. Bicycle Michael's in New Orleans won that bid by a LONG shot. So glad I chose them. I have had zero problems with the bike, and I'm 2,000 miles in on it. Thanks for your interest, and the questions!
Many Thanks. So the price jump was almost 4-fold. Did you keep a spreadsheet of parts and cost of each. Looking into your customization (and my own very personal preferences, I currently have a 2014 LHT, 700 cc, 56cm). Now I am looking at a Surly DT or Co-Motion. Shimano Ultegra or GRX800 set and some Brooks enhancements (leather, seat, tape etc), Shwalbe Marathon 38mm, Crane Creek seat post, stand, back & front racks. Hopefully all within $3500. It would be great if you can share your spreadsheet. I want to keep the bike light and abound changes hubs. Many Thanks
I have the email I sent with all the parts I wanted on the bike. I don't have the receipt. It's at home. Will the parts list help? If so, drop your email address, and I'll save it and delete the comment.
It's headed your way!
@@RedeemingEden 🙏🙏🙏
If you don’t mind me asking…Can you run a rear caliper brake and a hydro front brake?
Absolutely! I've never had a single issue with my double hydraulic setup. In over 10K miles, I've never had to adjust them once. I can't say that about any caliper setup I've had. But I do completely share your concern.
What a set up. Nice bike. I like that stick stand.
Thanks, Jason!!! I finally have a bike built for what I'm doing. Yeah, that stand comes in handy, for sure.
So it's not a factory SURLY LHT
you had to modify it.
$$$ but looks great
Yeah, I misspoke. It's a frame up build. Thank you very much! It's definitely the best bike I've ever owned. Blessings!
you got a bike now that you can travel the world
Yeah, man!!! Thanks!
How did you manage to mix GRX FD with MTB chainset? Also, do I understand correctly, that you changed the low chainring?
So, the GRX group set is mostly a mountain group set. I used it for a road bike application. It isn't supposed to work with a 11-42, but I tried it, and it has worked perfectly for 4,000+ miles. The B-Limit has to be backed out a good bit, but it works. Yes, I custom ordered the chainrings separately. I went with 24 and 38 and I don't feel like I could have made a better group set for "Clydesdale" style touring. Let me know if you have any other questions!
The chainline for the GRX Crankset/FD is wider than for the road components and sits pretty much in between shimano road and MTB (road: 43,5mm, grx 46,9mm, mtb 48.8m) - it is not meant to be used for MTB cranksets, but adjusted accordingly all the way out it actually *can* work - its a bit frameset/mount/crankset/BB depandent between it barely working or not beeing able to shift the big ring correctly. best way of knowing if it will work is basically to try it out for your setup and see how it goes.
if your frameset has a 68mm bottom bracket you can also try to offset the crankset by a millimeter or so to the left by using different spacers for both sides and so get the chainling in the working range of the derailleur.
@@RedeemingEden no, my question was regarding the MTB crankset and GRX front derailleur. Why I'm asking is because the GRX groupset uses Shimano Road shifting index (cable pull ratio), which is not matching the MTB index. To put it other way, I am interested to know if the spacing between the chainrings of a double MTB crankset is matching the travelling distance of the GRX front derailleur. Because as far as I know the spacing on MTB is not the same as on GRX.
@@Digi20 yeah, I know that trick. That's how you do to make incompatible groupsets "compatibile":)
Usually the road and grx FDs don't travel that far out, that's why Surly Disk Trucker and Trek 520 come with non-standard spacer and BB configurations out of box to let the Sora FD clear the biggest chainring of triple MTB chainset.
@Digi20 nailed it!!! We used a 1mm spacer to move the crank out just a hair. It worked. Forgot all about that!
Greetings! Can you please tell me where can I buy mounts for Tidy cats boxes? Thank you in advance! Hello from Russia!
Russia! That's amazing! Greetings from the US! If you ever have any other questions, feel free to let me know.
I bought the mounts on Amazon, here: www.amazon.com/Vincita-Bike-Pannier-Hardware-Kit/dp/B087TYJM7D/ref=asc_df_B087TYJM7D/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459584715020&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7114168127487493339&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1013121&hvtargid=pla-942857386066&psc=1
@@RedeemingEden Cool! Thanks!😊
You're welcome! 😃
Just wondering, have you needed to remove the front wheel to fix a flat yet? I discovered that the front rack stops the thru axle lever from turning.
I haven't had a flat, but I removed the wheel. On the axle lever side, Tim put four of the valve stem knurled rings stacked up where the bottom of the rack bolts on. Gives it just enough clearance to spin. Hope this helps!
I just uploaded Day 22 and showed a little more of what I had to do to get it to work. Hope this helps!
@@RedeemingEden thank you!
You're most welcome!!!
Cool video thanks
Preesh! You're welcome!
I wish to have like this bike so I could go home in the province since there is no yet transportation.
I hope you're able to get one! Fingers crossed 🤞
What height are you if you dont mind me asking? I am looking at a 58cm too
Don't mind a bit. 6'2 with a 36" inseam. I'm normally a 60-61cm bike, but my LBS recommended one size smaller for touring. I'm so glad they did.
@@RedeemingEdenThanks , I am almost your exact measurements!,Yes I think a shorter Top tube makes sense so that the position is more upright for touring
Totally. I didn't cut any of the steerer tube either. I figured I could try it first, then cut it off I needed to. It's perfect. I will not be cutting it.
How do I get in touch with you to talk to you about your fundraising effort? I would appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself and encourage you.
Click the popl link in the video description. It has all the ways to get in touch! Look forward to hearing from you.
Which lyzne model did you choose ?
I think it was the High Volume. The Lezyne pump ended up leaking at the glass viewing cylinder. I had to trash it in Miami and bought a Topeak two way hand pump. It is still working.
@@RedeemingEden the lynze pumps are pricey , I had a Topeak for 10 years. Which model did you purchase
I got the Mini Dual DXG.
12:45 double threaded spokes?? Did you actually mean double butted?
Yes. Thanks for the correction!
@@RedeemingEden because double threaded spokes indeed exist. DT Swiss makes such for their own hubs with threaded straight holes.
@@RedeemingEden check out this vid on youtube: "How to change spokes: TRICON"
Very interesting! Thanks!!!
What size bro?
It's a 58cm. I'm 6'2", so I was right on the line of going with the 60. All things considered, I went for a little shorter reach to the stem, and kept all the stack height to sit much more upright. I absolutely love it.
@@RedeemingEden thanks.. Greetings from me(Indonesia) 🙏🙏🙏
You're welcome! Indonesia!? Awesome! Thanks for watching!
@@RedeemingEden ya i'm from Indonesia... Hello 2 pedals.
Also…Rolloff opinion???
There definitely is a Rohloff option. As expensive as the bike was getting, I chose not to go that route.
looks like your missing your non drive side crank arm preload bolt
Great eye!!! My mechanic never tightened my pedals. Just before that video, that plastic preload bolt shattered and my chain quit shifting to the large chainring. Pushed everything back through, tightened the pedals and rolled into that campsite a day later. I eventually found a shop with one on hand in Miami Beach. It's been fine ever since. Again, great eye, sir! 💯
Can I borrow your bike?
🤣🤣🤣 In one of those Palm Sunday, Jesus needs a donkey situations, yes. Any other situation, no. 🤣🤣🤣 Jklol
Why not Lizard green, instead of pea lime soup?
Gross.
atrocious color
