Re: New Gravel Frame Ican Graro

The official max tire clearance is listed as 45mm. In your experience, is the actual clearance typically larger? Do you think a true 48mm tire could fit without issues? Also, do you happen to know how wide the downtube is - so it "replaces" a mudguard if its muddy :) ?

I'm running 2.1" Thunder Burts on mine (51mm measured). There's obviously not much clearance - slightly less than 3mm - but it hasn't been a problem yet. I'm running 2x and had to swap the Ultegra FD for a GRX to get a bit more clearance.

IIRC, the downtube measures 50mm wide. However, i run the new Speedrocker XL 52mm clip-on mudguards. Very happy with them.

Re: New Gravel Frame Ican Graro There is a minimum 5mm of space all round with the 47mm tracers which is plenty for fire-track roads and far more space than I had on my TCX with 42mm pathfinder tyres in and they worked perfectly without any clogging issues

From my experience of muddy CX races if the course is claggy it really doesn't matter how much space you have between the tyre and frame, mud will fill it eventually

Re: New Gravel Frame Ican Graro Here you go, there is 2-2.5mm space between the chainring and chainstay, I'll probably add another 0.5mm to the chainset once I've got everything dialed.

From memory I had about 3mm gap when it was set up 2x with a 50-34( I think I mentioned the gap in an earlier post)

I measured the gap between the tyres and frame and even with the increase in tyre width to 51mm I've still got 4mm of space each side, which surprised me
