Show us some pics and specs..of your surly 29er singlespeed's

I'm debating on what to get for my next bike and I think I've decided on the Karate Monkey frameset...built how I like it. Of course, do have to save money though. While I'm waiting post the pics and specs to get me motivated even more to reach that 1200-1500 $ budget lol. Thats all I'm gone probably put into it.

How does the 1x1 handle with the 29x2.1?

Thought about sticking 29ers in the 1x1 as a 2nd wheelset. But now that I look at that pic, it doesn't look like there's that much clearance on there..... Is it a bad angle?

Yeah, also, the rear axle is just right at the edge of the drop out, which if it was scooted forward, the tire would hit the frame at the seat stay bridge or BB. Looks like a tight fit.

I have 2.4s on my KM and there's plenty of clearance.

I love steam rollers!! .....oh wait.... yea the bike too.

I have plans to put 650b on my 1x1. I agree that those 29's look a bit tight.

I love that last picture all kitted out. I hope to do some expeditions on my bike in the near future. Hopefully, my plans to purchase a KM goes well this summer.
