Is Surly LHT 26 rim brake discontinued?
I heard somewhere that Surly Long Haul Trucker 26 with rim brake is discontinued. Is this information true? If yes, is there any public official info about it?

You might contact Surly and ask them about frame sizing and whether they are discontinuing the 26 inch version

I could be wrong so I agree with the post above - contact Surly. I would be awfully surprised if they did discontinue that design... wouldn't make sense to me.
Now, I could understand shortages and back-logs due to the current times... but a total discontinuation? See what Surly says.

It is still on their website: https://surlybikes.com/bikes/long_haul_trucker. I seems like an odd one but if nothing else there are other options.

I heard rumors as well, but I don't think they'd ditch it altogether. I think they'll eventually go to frame only for the LHT, while continuing with complete and frame versions of the (now shockingly expensive!) Disc Trucker. Just like the rim brake Cross Check, I think they'll still sell frames, but get rid of completes.
