About the Build

We just put a new Surly Karate Monkey out on the trail. This was a full custom build, every part was what the customer wanted or what he trusted us to spec. This time around a simple SRAM 1×9 set up was the choice for powering this steel beast. A MRP chain keeper on the front ring keeps the chain from dropping. 29er’ Stans Arch rims laced to SRAM X9 sealed bearing hubs made for a strong wheelset that rolls smooth and fast. Braking was kept simple too, yet powerfull with Avid’s BB7 mechanical disc brakes. A mix of Truvativ, WTB, and Kenda tires round up the rest of the build. Let us know if you have a bike that you’ve been dreaming up, we can help you make it a reality.
