Alvin,

I run the 180mm Stylo on my Surly:
http://www.geocities.com/glaprade/Surly/

I'm a big guy (220) and I've had good luck so far. However,
the bike isn't quite a year old yet, and I haven't ridden it
as much as I'd like.

I DO climb pretty steep stuff with it, and get it airborne a
fair bit so I would hazard a guess that I'm reasonably hard
on the drivetrain.

I originally wanted some RF cranks, but these were a lot
cheaper and easier for my LBS to find in 180mm.

Gman,

Thanks for the quick reply. Are you running the surly dual freewheel rear
hub, or is it fixie on one side? After getting my crankset sorted out, a
new rear wheel might be in order. I'm running an old wheelset from my other
bike and it's just seen better days.

Cheers,
Alvin Liau
