Upgrades¶

• Cranksets:
• Stock Surly 100 mm BB with 33 mm spindle → switch to a SRAM DUB 83 mm for lower Q‐factor.

• Consider 30 t vs. 28 t rings (3 mm offset differences—affects chainline).

• Drivetrain Tweak:

• Replace stock derailleur hanger with a replaceable hanger (e.g. Wheels Manufacturing)

• Upgrade to 12-speed drivetrain for wider range.

• Handlebars & Stem:

• Surly Moloko bars + V-bar for better leverage when lugging through snow.
• Shorten stem to improve steering quickness on loose terrain.
