I wanted to put my pugs on the roof rack, but the fork is 135mm spacing...what to do? spacers!

30 minutes or so later (crappy minilathe), and walla

...spacers for a 20mm forkup.

Hurricane Fork Up for Surly Pugsley 135mm

The Company "Hurricane Components" makes a mount they call (Fork Up for Surly Pugsley 135mm). Any shop that has a QBP account can Order it for you. Its around $90.00. It works good, I have one on my car.

Looks good Ron. You seem to have an answer for just about everything.

It's been a long time since we ridden together but Merry Christmas from Brandon in Jackson, WY.

Or you can buy a Thule Criterium and keep the wheels on. It only takes a few seconds to put any bike on, or take it off.

Good to know there are products for fat bikes

. I already had the 20mm forkup (for my other bikes), so it made sense to just make spacers

it's the yakima king cobra. you can set it for 20-29" tires. i put it in 29er mode and the tire fits in there very snug. you have to give it a shot to get it out, but it dosent wobble around up there at all 60+mph:thumbsup:

My solution to the 135mm roof rack was to drill out the mount (Cheap Yakima) and just bolt on a heavy duty QR axle/QR. No less sketchy than the mount was previously. Not in the pic but the tray was bent so it is Endo Friendly, some 1in nylon webbing/fastener keep it there.
