bathoutdoors.co.uk loves this ultimate tourer, the Surly Disc Trucker in 26" wheels! Yes, 26" ain't dead in fact when you're on a world tour it is still the easiest wheel sizes to buy spares for rather than carry them. Fact.
Surly says -
Disc Trucker enjoys the same reputation as Long Haul Trucker: It’s one of the best-riding and most value-packed drop bar touring bikes out there. Sometimes, however, a combination of load, climate, and terrain demands a bit more braking performance than a standard rim-brake LHT can provide.
That’s where the newly redesigned Disc Trucker comes in. Packing reliable stopping power and a horde of useful mounting points, shortened chainstays up the Disc Trucker’s stiffness and maneuverability around corners. Add in improved fit and handling under load, plus captured thru-axles for tool-free removal and installation, and the Disc Trucker is ready to help you meet — or dodge — your daily obligations.
Dynamo routing on the fork, plus three-pack mounts on the blade and every braze-on you’ll ever need for racks, fenders, water bottle cages, and more
12mm thru-axles for a stiffer feel and increased stability when fully loaded
Shortened seat tube and slightly sloped top tube for improved stand-over clearance, plus increased stack height for a more upright and comfortable riding position on those long hauls
Spec’d with the Truck Stop Bar and tubeless ExtraTerrestrial tires for dependable handling and traction
