Recently I decided to get back on the saddle in an attempt to regain some level of physical fitness and to show my first born how much fun can be had on two wheels. Enter the Surly Ogre. I picked up my new ride in March (2015) and so begins this new chapter. In stock form: Here's to the...

Sorry guys, I feel dumb. It's a Surly rack.

I'm trying to identify the rear rack on this Ogre. Anyone seen it before? It's from the website justrollingby dot com.

Will do. Looking forward to a long summer here in the PNW and hopefully some time off work for brain and body rejuvenation.

An Ogre on an Ogre Drumroll please... Enter the OGRE And then the Ogre on the Ogre! Everything seems to line up where it should. Just wish I had more seatpost showin'. Damn short legs. :bike_rider: Seatpost height. And Pedals - Fyxation MPs. Thin

I'll try and snap some photos tonight.

So I may be a little bummed. I'm enjoying my Ogre but have made a few disappointing discoveries. First - my saddle rails are only about 4.25 inches from the top tube. Makes me feel like I should have gotten a medium for the following reasons. 1- I wanted to run a thud buster seatpost and...

A decent saddle is definitely in my future. I was strongly considering a Brooks Cambium but am currently leaning towards a Rivet Pearl. Still think the extra padding will come in handy until things soften up...

Which shorts / chamois do you find are most comfortable for longer rides or touring?

I got an Ogre. Picked her up today from a LBS I used to race for. Added some Schwalbe Mondials and will be picking up some Ergon G1s and platform pedals shortly. Can't wait to get the kiddo on the road.:roost:

Just realized I put this in the hardware section instead of software. My brain died a few days ago. Sorry.

I need software that I can use to plan offroad/backcountry travel in the Pacific Northwest. Something I can mark/plan routes with that will give me mileage, elevation gain/loss etc. Has to cover forest service roads. I have a Mac and ipad mini that I will be utilizing. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've been trying to sharpen my scandi grind (S30V) on a King 1200 waterstone. How long should it take to get to the point where I need to move on to a higher grit, strop, or other polishing compound? I'm quickly losing faith in my abilities and remembering why I always bought Benchmade.

Ok so I still can't find an Ogre or Fargo in my size to demo. Science this could be my first on road MTB I'm hoping someone could give me an idea how much more drag they would have over say a long haul trucker. I don't want to rip around at highway speeds but would it be reasonable to expect...

Is it a custom or a brand I could find? Either way it looks fantastic and something I'd love to have.

Short answer is no, I'm not sure. I really enjoyed the simplicity of my San Jose. It was a breath of fresh air from my "race bike" and something I quite enjoyed riding on the flats. The rider position has just gotten too uncomfortable now that I'm fat and I need gears to climb all of these...

I'm a recovering roadie who needs a new ride. I'm 6' 240lbs and riding my road bike or San Jose fixie just isn't comfortable anymore. I want to get back on the road and enjoy this amazing weather (sorry to my East coast friends) we're having. I think I've decided on a Fargo or Ogre but there...

Do you feel that the Edge Pro would work better (well enough?) on a scandi?

This holiday season I'm thankful for credit cards 😬

I need help with sharpening. I try but never seem to get it right and I'm tired of damaging nice knives. My current project is an Enzo Birk folder with S30V and a scandi grind. My goal is to have a shaving sharp, mirror polished blade. I have tried using a sharpening kit I picked up here. I...
