My frame can use either rim or disc brake, I bought the CSS rims that should last longer that I do and I went with rim brake. Photo is eight years old, it shows canti brakes in the photo, since then I have switched to V brakes.
WIth the dirt it is not easy to see, but there is a rectangular shaped knob that is in that extra long slot in the dropout to hold the hub from rotating.
Frame uses an eccentric bottom bracket for chain adjustment.
So, I appreciated seeing how that works on a Surly since I am not familiar with how that works.
I managed to install the Rohloff with some parts and guidance from cyclemonkey
Denham bars and roloff hub,she is different.i,m enjoying the switch to alt bars and the rohloff is nice although you still have to turn those crankarms
