Ha ha made you look!
By now, you know that Pugsley was created to go where standard “all terrain” bikes flounder. The floatation and traction afforded by large-volume, low-pressure tires can get you over and through otherwise unrideable terrain…sand, mud, wet rocks and roots, ice and many kinds of snow.
The Pugsley frame has 135mm-spaced horizontal rear-loading dropouts with a derailleur hanger. This means you can set it up with a derailleured drivetrain or an internally-geared hub. Run it with a singlespeed freewheel or a fixed cog. You have lots of drivetrain choices.
The stock fork accepts a 135mm rear mountain hub, just like the frame. This makes it easier to install and remove the wheel (a big tire on a big rim benefits from a wide opening), and it allows front and rear wheel interchangeability. This means you can have the ability to carry another full gear cluster, a singlespeed freewheel, or a fixed cog on the front wheel. And should something go wrong with your primary drivetrain, you have the option of swapping wheels and continuing on your journey or retreating to a place where you can make necessary repairs.
In addition to the frameset, we offer the Pugsley as a complete bike. It features Large Marge rims with Larry and Endomorph tires, plus a nice mix of components chosen for their durability and value.

I know this is an older post but for anyone still etnilsing Rumour from yesterday has it that MSCare developing a 29er version of their impressive MPS2 simple single pivot linkage. Something like a big prother to their new 26 race/trail bike prototype which just popped up on their website.Given the supeb performance of their 26 dual sus platforms the Hunter and Zion need to be ridden to feel how good the engineering really is, this will be a 29er boinger that I will put money aside for.It should also be light their duallies are lighter than Scott’s at the moment (bet nobody knew that!)After hearing this immediately lost interest in the Nicolai..
