-24-22 gearing was great or 22-20.
-No brakes, the grit & sand destroyed the bb7's in less than a week and we eventually took them off. We didnt really need them anyway.
-Fixed is not a bad idea at all, For pugs, running a fixed on the front as backup is the way to go, the bmx freewheel stopped turning by hand after a few days due to lack of seals. That being said, both our freewheels (shimano & DT) worked fine the whole trip.
-Phil wood bb's are still spinning slop free - This is nothing short of totally amazing.
-Chains took serious abuse, stainless might be the way to go for longer trips.
-Surly tubes are bomber, zero flats and their ease of patching was good piece of mind.
-OMM Racks were bomber as expected, they were beat up hard and held up great.
-Checking the tightness of chainring bolts is pretty darn important...

Tomi cog in place of the disc might be the trick.
Good product testing!

not with pugs though - cant do it with the offset dish.
RE: the BB7's. I believe part of them is Magnesium and Magnesium doesn't do well in salt...at least that's what we've noticed here in Minnesota when they salt the roads.
How can you deny my greatness?
On the muddy Dempster Highway I was not loving my BB7s either and would have happily swapped in some v-brakes.
Do think another brand of disc would have fared better?
Great like it...
im going to alaska in January
