I guess the correct answer depends on who's answering the emails or taking the phone calls at Surly on any given day. My LBS owner called QBP/Surly when he did the build on my Puglsey to find out the best way to mount them. The above comment is what he was told.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090802854306112252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-75582316339055475582007-09-18T14:06:00.000-06:002007-09-18T14:06:00.000-06:00Doug, your comment was news to me, so I e-mailed S...Doug, your comment was news to me, so I e-mailed Surly to find out of I was running my Endos incorrectly. Here's the response:<BR/><BR/>"Honestly, it probably doesn't matter a whole bunch. One of our guys here does run the rear tire with the chevrons facing rear (when looking at the top of the tire) and the front in the more traditional way. Even he doesn't really think it makes much difference.<BR/><BR/>"I say do it however you like. I run mine like you do."<BR/><BR/>Sounds like it really doesn't matter. Everyone I know here in Anchorage is running their tires the same way, with the chevrons pointing forward as seen from the rider's perspective.<BR/><BR/>The Pugsley's a monster. It'll roll over plenty of stuff regardless of which way you mount the tires!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230350513417318151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-74421909052384318742007-09-18T13:57:00.000-06:002007-09-18T13:57:00.000-06:00YAY!!

I love the shot of you riding over the rocky seaweed, it gives a good idea of what this awesome beast is capable of. It is wonderful that the slower pace is allowing you to see more detail and make more discoveries. Really funny how you wandered into the line of the zip, too. :)Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866053304972928398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-22027763772251875672007-09-18T10:48:00.000-06:002007-09-18T10:48:00.000-06:00Damn I want one!!!!!

It really opens up a plethora of new biking options. Allow me to make one comment on your set-up. Although the tread on the Endomorphs may look like it's unidirectional, it's not. The guys at Surly recommend that you mount the front and rear tire with the tread pattern going in opposite directions. This will give you more traction in snow because the rear tread won't be following the front tires tread pattern, but breaking it's own pattern in the snow.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090802854306112252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-22100197482313208682007-09-18T05:13:00.000-06:002007-09-18T05:13:00.000-06:00Yeah it does have a Monster Truck look to it.
