Tires: like new Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR 29x3.0 (tubeless, maybe 4 rides on them), I'll also throw in a pair of Maxxis Chronicle 29x3.0 (1.5 seasons on them, lots of tread left, ideal for mixed gravel/trail bikepacking outings) Seatpost: Thomson Elite 27.2mm with Thomson post clamp Rear Wheel: Chris King ISO Disc 142x12, Velocity Dually 32hĭrivetrain: Shimano XTR 1x11, Race Face 30T narrow wide chainringĬrankset: Race Face Evolve XC (these were pulled off my last bike, only hand-me-down part)īars: Thomson Carbon XC 730mm (flat center rise) included with the bike are dropouts for 142x12 thru-axle (shimano direct mount), 135mm QR axle or 135mm horizontal drops if you want to (or need to) set it up single speed.įork: Manitou Magnum Pro 110mm (bought off a friend's Trek Stache, hence the 110mm)įront Wheel: Hope EVO2 'Boost' hub, Velocity Dually 32h This is the version of the Krampus where Surly used the MDS (modular dropout system). I built this bike up from the frameset with bikepacking in mind, but it doubles as a very capable XC and trail bike.
If you're looking for a do-it-all bikepacking workhorse that you can still take out for a rowdy evening trail ride, look no further.
