Re: Frame advice - hardtail with a 40T (or more) chainring Quote from: Deem on February 11, 2025, 07:07:22 AM I've just finished building a beachracer for beachracing with a 29er. - Frame: TanTan (Seraph) FM199 29ER*2.35Tire. Flared handlebar, seatpost and stem are also from TanTan. - Control levers GRX ST-RX820 1x12s - Flat mount brake calipersGRX RX820 (front Post Mount to Flat Mount adapter) - Frontring 48t Narrow-wide (0 offset) with 10-45 (1x12speed) (https://www.themechanic-parts.com/) - Rear derailleur GRX RX820 12s - Crank XT 165mm - Carbon rims: 40mm and 36mm (Elavo Carbon Ali) with Dt Swiss hubs and Sapim spokes (Spoke the carbon rims myself) - Tyres: 60mm Schwalbe G-One Speed Evolution 60-622 and VITTORIA Tattoo II 29x2.3 Please post some pictures of this rig. it sounds amazing. Also would love to see the clearance on the chainring. this sounds like the best option so far for the "monster gravel" style build. February 11, 2025, 06:45:01 PM	1
Re: Looking for: Gravel bike big tyre clearance 60mm/2.35i Already made a post about my bike in the MTB-forum, but it's relevant here aswell. Just like user "Deem" on the first page, I went the MTB-frame with drop bars route. Inspired by the beachracing scene here in The Netherlands and Belgium. But the bikes makes a great and fun gravel bike aswell ! Like others have said, it does require a mix and match of different standards to get the required results. I went with the Airwolf YFM026, which has a stated max chainring of 40t. But I fitted a 42 already without issue, 44 might be possible aswell if you start playing with the offset. Then I got some Nextie rims that were built with MTB-boost hubs. In summer I use 2.35" Thunder Burts and it makes for a super fast and fun gravel bike! There is one brand that started dabbling into a gravel frame with 60+ mm clearance. It's a super small Dutch brand, but they bought their previous frames from Chinese manufacturers. I would love to know which manufacturer so we could buy it direct from them. https://stormsports.nl/products/storm-makai-beachbike-gravelbike March 05, 2025, 04:36:10 AM	1
