Pugsley-Specific Quirks¶

• Offset Fork Spacing: The original Pugsley forks used 100 mm spacing with a 10 mm tire offset, requiring special hub dishing or Surly Moonlander forks (100 mm front, 135 mm rear).
• 135 mm Rear Hub: Many aftermarket hubs need careful dishing to fit properly.
• Chainstay Curve: Unique curve for clearance—limits certain derailleur wrap options.
• Triple vs. Double vs. Single: Frame designed with triple‐to‐single conversion in mind, but front derailleur mounting can be quirky.
• Steel vs. Aluminum vs. Titanium: Frame material changes year-to-year; ride feel differs.

Pro tip: keep track of your original dropout spacing and rim offset if you’re mixing/matching hubs in a 135 mm shell.
