Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[Uberflo]

2,2“ is very tight, high risk you shred the chainstays in muddy conditions

I've seen a few questions, but no definitive answers in this thread:
Has anyone actually run 2.1 or 2.2 tyres in this frame and, if so, what was the clearance like? (Obviously thinking Thunder Burt/Conti Race King if possible)

There is a recent post on WeightWeenie with a pic of 2.2' Race Kings mounted. (about 1/2 way down the page)

You'll need to make the call for yourself based on the conditions you ride in and if any mud clearance is needed. 
Regardless, you'll want to shave the tires hairs on the Kings.

She is 98% finish. Just bar tape after I figure out if I like my hood position. She rides pretty well and I have some 50mm tires on her.

I just got mine and was playing around with tires. The Burt's were too big on the rear but the race king has maybe 4mm of clearance.


Idk what to do for the handlebar situation. I haven't cut the steerer yet but it does not seem like I'll be able to compress the headset. It seems loose. Will report back later.

I recommend using  a longer headset compression nut. The one that comes with the bike is too short unless you’re slamming the stem

Hmm headset keeps some play with the tideace bar. Also want a longer stem so I can solve both problems.

Lexon is on the shortlist, really good price and loads of sizes. Does anyone have pictures of this 1mm gap at the headtube? Any negatives on lexon bars?

Lexon Unox all good here. Supplied spacers are fine.
