Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[Alancik123]

Looking for crank/chainring options.
I live in quite flat lands so planning to run something from 46 to 50t chainring.
I see some people struggle to run 44t chainrings, some do it 48t somehow. Could someone tell me how can I run biggest chainring on this frame? I plan on running Sram 1x mullet setup.

What headset bearings are you using?

The one Tideace gave with the frameset. Which, looking back at this thread, wasn't probably the best choice.
It works for now tho and i reallllyyy don't want to redo the whole integrated routing again with 4 cables.
Just saw the new wireless XTR Di2 announcement and it's backward compatible with GRX Di2 hood. So that's promising for my next upgrade.

SRAM Wide is maxed out at 46T

I´m really thorn between a 52 and a 54.

Givent that i currently run a 56 that is clearly a liitle large and have to use an 80stem with almost maxed out saddle forward to reduce total reach.

Stats:

1,77cm
84 inseam

Current bike geo

Reach: 384
Stack height:  606
Effective top tube lenght:  570

I'm afraid of of too small of a frame for stable descent, which i do quote a lot and like to keep doing so!

Whats your take?

Any way to increase clearance with spacers or chainrings?

I can see quite a few photos here with the supplied integrated handlebar but - are there any issues with it?

Reading on various forums there seems to be low quality on the compression ring and parts provided in general which creates some play. Has this issue been fixed as of lately? I'm contemplating on cancelling the handlebar just for this reason. Eddie claims there are no issues at all.

Thanks
