The Pugsley’s obsolescence

This is little more than a rant/lamentation about the obsolescence of my Pugsley.

Since Surly no longer makes Marge Lite or Rabbit Hole rims, future wheel builds are pretty much out of the question, should I either need or desire. (I currently swap mine between full fat and 29er configs.) It’s obvious that the parts-base for this bike is slowly going extinct.

4” is no longer adequate for width, apparently. Tires are getting harder to buy too.

The thing I like most about the Pugs is that I can use standard spaced MTB parts...particularly the Alfine 8. Maybe it’s time to sell it now though before it gets so obsolete that it can’t be sold.
