Allow me to be the first to add content, here's my newly acquired Pugsley. Next to it is a Kenda 2.3 just to demonstrate how big the Endomorph tires really are. Enjoy.
Post pics of your Surly!!!

What tires are they?
That is a great-looking Pug. Nice job.

Schwalbe Big Ben 700x50. They measure out to 47mm on stock rims.
Awesome tires. They roll pretty damn easy, have tons of plush, reflective sidewalls, and tough. I haven't had a single flat since I installed them about 7 months ago.

How are they off road? (Gravel). I am thinking about getting me a second set of wheels for my KM for touring, instead of another bike.

This is all coming from a guy who's used to pavement and 28-35mm tires
They're pretty damn good, but not perfect. I love riding gravel with them but last week I went down when I went into a turn too fast. They rode over the top of the gravel fine but just don't have any real bite.
They are pretty damn plush, roll really good and in the 7 months I've been commuting on them I haven't had one flat.
EDIT:
The trip that top picture was from was mostly on paved rail-trails, but also had some highways, forest roads, a bit of singletrack, and a few miles of limestone/gravel roads with some steep hills I bombed. They killed it on all of that.

Dumbie and fixed CC.
Since my CC now sports a flip-flop hub, I figured I'd ride it fixed a bit. Fun stuff. Hoping to experiment with it on some dirt roads next week.
Also a bad shot of my Big Dumbie. I just replaced the brake pads (but not the squeal). I've got some Jones bars to put on, just need an appropriate stem.

It's RAL 4009, pastel violet, chosen because I think it goes well with the silver bits

Old thread in the Fat Bike section. Not much there but you could post and bring it back to life.

I'm trying to post a pic but I receive a message that my photo is too large. I've never posted a pic and don't know what to do. Can anyone help? The picture was taken with a Nikon CoolPix 4000 if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help that can be offered.

If on Windows, open photo with Photo Gallery, tab(Edit,Organize,Share), (Edit), (Properties), (Resize). Pick medium and choose resize and save. If still too large choose small.
That's all I do for a simple resize.

My new Surly Pacer. I swapped out the Salsa PRM2 42cm handlebars for a pair of ZIPP sl-80 46cm ones. The Kalloy 100mm 7 degree stem was replaced by a Specialized Pro 75mm with a 17 degree angle. I replaced the stock seat with a Selle SMP Extra. The Alex rims were switched to a set of Velocity Deep V's. The pedals are Fyxation Mesa MP platforms. This bike is a joy to ride. Very comfortable, very responsive.
