Surly’s Dummy Deck provides a light, durable platform for cargo bikes, built to Xtracycle’s Longtail standard including the Big Dummy, of course. The Dummy Deck is stamped from 4mm-thick aluminum, chosen for its strength, durability, and recyclability, and it bolts directly to Surly Dummy Rails to stiffen and stabilize the whole system (it’s also compatible with Xtracycle V-racks by using Xtracycle’s SuperHooks). It features cut-outs for routing straps and cordage, a mounting hole for a rear light bracket, accessory-mounting holes, and countersunk holes for SuperHook hardware.
