Surly 1x1 Singlespeed
Product DescriptionHere you find the venerable 1X1, the frame whose name is synonymous with singlespeeds the same way people call facial tissue Kleenex. The 1X1 was designed for 26" wheels, big tires, and single gear and cog drivetrains, like freewheeled singlespeeds, fixedgear, and even internal geared hubs. No derailleur hanger, no housing stops or line guides for derailleurs. The 1X1 is simple, durable and beautiful.

Paul Miles Date Reviewed: October 1, 2012 Strengths: Bike rides great. Weaknesses: Frame failed horribly and Surly is making the warranty process exceed the cost of just buying a new frame with no guarantee of replacement. I purchased for the 3 year warranty & frame lasted 14 months or about 8 riding months here in Ohio. Bottom Line:

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: July 27, 2012 Strengths: Nice welded and paint job! I like this kinda a glossy black though ... Weaknesses: If you are using Disc Brake, it'll be little bit difficult to remove rear wheel. You must undo 2 (two) bolts on the rear brake caliper in order to remove the wheel. What??! Heavy?? It's chromo dude ...

from Scotland, UK Date Reviewed: June 1, 2009 Strengths: Reasonably inexpensive. Extremely versatile, I can easily switch between slicks and knobblies and feel confident on the road or trails. The quality is high, nice welds, thick paint and nice detailing in the track ends etc. I like the ability to run V-Brakes, something missing from a lot of modern frames. I wanted to build a bike that was cheap to run and easy to maintain so V-Brakes were high on my list. I like that the rigid fork is included. Weaknesses: None so far.

from Gainesville, FL USA Date Reviewed: February 6, 2009 Strengths: The Surly 1×1 is a super rad machine. It can handle any trail and any condition. With fancy parts the bike can be built up as light as 20lbs and with regular parts it can easily be built up to be sub 25lbs. The frame is stout, stiff, and simple…everything I would look for in a mountain bike. The 1×1 can be setup using either the supplied Surly 1×1 rigid fork(or any other suspension corrected rigid fork) or a squishy suspension fork with 80mm of travel such as a Rockshox Reba or Sid. The rider also has the option of running either V, Canti, or Disc Brakes on the frame and fork. The frame-set is affordable in comparison to most other single speed frames and frame-sets on the market… the retail price of a 1×1 frame-set is $430 and a complete bike can be built up starting between 750 and a 1000 dollars. Weaknesses: What what? I suppose if you want to use gears the 1×1 would not be your cup of tea. The 1×1 can only be setup single speed, though it can be run with an internal hub such as a Shimano Alfine 8speed if you really need to get your gears on. Some might consider the 5lb frame weight as a weakness but the reality is that a 5lb frame is strong, not weak.

Topped off with Kenda Smallblock 8 Tires and a Tioga Spyder saddle. The bike weighs just under 21lbs.
