The Surly Detrackulator
Work harder, not smarter, they said. Well, what if you could gear up your old Steamroller or Rat Ride and do it on a dime? It’s a question no one’s been asking, so naturally, our friend Bicycle Pubes helped us come up with an answer.
It’s called the Surly Detrackulator, a simple solution to resurrecting that dusty 1x1 with today’s transmission technology a la 142 thru-axle UDH dropouts. Plus, it’s fully capable of clearing 750D x 40mm tires, should you act upon impulsive thoughts. (Hell, throw in a 29'er and run it reverse mullet.)
What's better, the Detrackulator features three accessory mounting points, so free-thinking riders can experiment with various setups. Install yours with a single bolt through the fender eyelet and let it rip.
• Compatible with SRAM 12/13 Speed Transmission
• Adds extra chainstay length in the name of stability
• Increases Steamroller rear wheel tire clearance from 700x38 to 29"x2.2 or 750x40
• Increases 1x1 or Rat Ride rear wheel tire clearance from 26"x2.75" to 29"x3" or 750x40
• Long live horizonal dropouts and happy April 1st, fools
