STRAGGLER FRAMESET
Thanks for spending your hard-earned money on a Surly frameset. Seriously, we really appreciate it. You could’ve picked something
else but you didn’t, and that means a lot to us. We’ve put a lot of work into making a great riding bike that you’ll enjoy for a long
time. Before you read any further take a minute and write down this frame’s serial number. If you should ever experience a problem
with it, the serial number will help us get things sorted, and if your bike is ever stolen the serial number is undeniable proof that it’s
yours. So take a minute, flip the bike over, and write it down. Your frame’s individual serial number is located on the underside
of the bottom bracket (the part of the frame that houses the crank bearings)

SERIAL NUMBER:______________________________
A long time ago we started making the Cross-Check. When the Cross-Check first came out there were basically zero road or cyclocross
frames on the market that had disc brakes. As the years went on, some manufacturers began putting disc brakes on these types
of frames and people started wanting us to put disc brakes on the Cross-Check frame because of its supreme versatility and
awesomeness. Straggler is the result.
Made from Surly 4130 CroMoly steel, Straggler is that kind of bike that can do almost anything. Some Stragglers are designed for
700c wheels, and some for 650b. Both have clearance for tires up to about 42mm, even with fenders. Actual max. tire size may vary
due to forces beyond our control, such as rim width and fore/aft placement in the rear dropout. Multiple water cage mounts, braze-
ons for rack and fenders and, did we mention, it has disc brakes. Straggler is, essentially, a Cross-Check frame with a few mods that
make it work well with disc brakes. We also designed brand new dropouts that will allow you to use it with either a single speed or
geared setup that will allow you to either easily tension the chain as a single speed or position the wheel for optimal shifting if you
are using gears. It’s as versatile as the original Cross-Check and it’ll stop on a dime. Give one a spin and see how you like it. You’ll
probably like it.
WARNING: Cycling can be dangerous. Bicycle products should be installed and serviced by a professional mechanic.
Never modify your bicycle or accessories. Read and follow all product instructions and warnings including information
on the manufacturer’s website. Inspect your bicycle before every ride. Always wear a helmet.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Keep your frame clean. Dirt and road grime lead to oxidation and fading of the finish, and they make it hard to do a thorough inspection.
Dirt will accelerate any abrasion of the paint that comes from rubbing, such as places where the cable housing touches the frame. In extreme
cases, this type of abrasion could remove frame material. When your bicycle is not being ridden, store it where it will be protected from rain,
snow, sun, etc. Rain or snow may cause the metal on your frame to corrode. We recommend applying J.P. Weigle’s Frame Saver to the inside
of the tubes before the frame is assembled into a bike. If your bicycle was exposed to moisture during a ride, thoroughly dry the bicycle
before storing it. If water got inside the frame, tilt the bicycle to drain the water. If necessary, remove the seatpost and turn the bicycle
upside down. This is especially critical if there is a large amount of water inside. If water freezes inside your frame, the expansion of the ice
can crack and rupture the structure.
Before storing your bicycle for an extended period of time, clean and lubricate the frame with a frame wax, polish, or protectant. Do not
store the bicycle near electric motors, as ozone from motors destroys paint. Before riding the bicycle again, follow the pre-ride checklist
to be certain it is in good working order.
INSPECTION
Before every ride carefully inspect your frame for signs of fatigue. If any frame part shows signs of damage or fatigue, consult your dealer
or replace the frame before riding the bicycle.
WARNING—An improperly modified frame, fork, or component can cause you to lose control and fall. NEVER MODIFY YOUR FRAMESET.
WARNING—Attaching incompatible clamping devices to a fork can lead to fork breakage, causing a loss of control. If you are not sure
if a device is compatible, consult your dealer
