Surly Midnight Special gets a Sram AXS mullet drivetrain! 

You and me both, just need this weather to cooperate!

Awesome, good luck with your build!

Yep fair enough, the steel offers a pretty comfortable ride too!

Thanks, looking forward to using and abusing them!

Hmm good question i don't have a good current estimate, SRAM has some new latest and greatest out since this groupset, so prices have probably changed quite a bit

Thanks CJ!

No offense taken, but those are bomtraeger carbon wheels on the video. I'd interested in what wheels you'd suggest to upgrade to.

@@backofthegravelpack I didn’t realize they were carbon wheels, I assumed from the hyperglide freehub body that they were more entry level. It sounds like your bike is already specced out other than the drivetrain so why not go AXS. But if you’re really thinking about switching up wheels, Fusion Fiber wheels seem like a really cool technology, Atomik and Revel are 2 I can think of off the top of my head that make them. Also maybe a dropper post if they make AXS ones in 27.2? Edit: or you could swap the freehub body to an xd or microspline and bump to a 10 tooth if you want more top end
