LONG HAUL TRUCKER ⚡️ All My Favourite Surlys Have Been Discontinued

finally got my hands on a Surly Long Haul Trucker ⚡️ i’ve been looking for the right one for a long time — right size, right colour, rim brakes, the older branded fork and downtube shifter mounts and somehow, with the Long Haul Trucker joining the shop, i’ve ended up with the three Surlys i’ve obsessed over for years: the Long Haul Trucker, Cross-Check and Steamroller all simple steel bikes all incredibly versatile and all discontinued — aside from the Steamroller’s brief return in this one, i’m giving the LHT a little attention and starting to figure out what my version of this bike will become nothing too dramatic a few parts off, a few parts changed, bigger tires and plenty left to figure out — and it’s turned out great so far these things take time ⚡️ chapters: 0:00 intro 0:16 the discontinued Surlys 1:58 gathering parts 2:21 disassembly 3:39 making it your own 4:41 tire swap + Schrader valve mod 5:56 shop test ride 6:27 more ways to make it your own 7:34 downtube friction shifting 8:32 brakes + Kool-Stops 9:28 outside test ride 10:10 final touches 12:09 first look at the finished LHT 12:39 final thoughts
