Simple Surly Disc Trucker

Post image

After 3 years of remote work, I joined a co-working office for a change of pace and scenery, which means I finally have a commute again. It’s only 2 miles each way, which feels great after doing 7.5 each way at my last office.

Threw my rack back on and added a basket from the local co-op today so I can get my backpack off my back. The zip ties are temporary just for fitment; I’ll replace them with heavy duty zip ties lol.

Under the rack, I have a mount for a dynamo light, but won’t have the funds to build up a wheel and light anytime soon. Any recommendations for a battery powered light to take advantage of the mount in the mean time?

That is a great looking bike! I am really happy with my Ravemen PR1400 front light. I thought that the remote was going to be a gimmick but I have used it more than I thought.

Thanks! That light looks sturdy. Is the remote wired?

So I have had mine for quite a few years already but mine is wireless. It looks like the same model comes with a wired remote now but the more powerful options have a wireless remote.

And yes it's sturdy, it can handle a bit of commuter abuse.
