Hey there,
Anyone commute with surly Karate Monkey, how does it do for ride longer than 5 miles?
Anyone tried Touring with it? disc brakes and panniers?
Not looking to purchase a slug of a bike for commuting and touring. I thought if i got a KM I could ride trails, commute to work (5-10 miles) and touring possibly off road or on road if i wanted. I had a cross-check, but didn't really enjoy it that well. I should mention that I tend to like to ride more MTB position, as i can sustain this postion better than being in a road position. mainly due to short arms.
Thanks for your commits and helping me through some questions? None of the bike shops around have one to test
