Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
Why would you do it yourself? The paintjob of Tideace is good. And you pay around €150,- Yeah I could pay the extra for it to be done professionally, but I'd like to do it myself as part of a long term project. I've done a couple of old frames and it's something I'm interested in doing. It might not be as good a job as what they'd do, but it'll be my own work which is cool, to me anyway. Others might disagree January 07, 2025, 05:40:55 PM |

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
Both 52x40x7, 45x45 - no crown race needed (integrated) I would suggest a DCR Superbox as you plan to use a Deda Bar. You just need the c ring: https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/de/deda-kompressionsring-fur-dcr-system/138244301/p?srsltid=AfmBOopIZXGT-u7D2k-0OMeY5cQ_thyeEufLTwOtE90FNPyjLvG7m4O_ January 08, 2025, 05:19:02 AM |

Re: LTWOO eGR
So far I'm pretty happy with my cheapo 12sp Sunshine 11-50 alloy cassette. It's super lightweight, considering the size and shifts mostly pretty smooth. I've seen the same one under a few different brand names, I think, incluidng Goldix. Be warned, though, the eGR will work with 50t, but it isn't the best option. The shifting suffers in the highest gears because the b-screw needs so much room to clear, but you also suffer in the lowest gears because if you shift too quickly the pulley wheel will actually strike the cassette. I know you were asking for 11t options, but I only brought it up because I was surprised that such a dirt cheap cassette works so dang well. Edit: I believe I have this one, in the 12sp 11-50 configuration. You may want to consider the 11-46 11sp configuration, or maybe see if you can find an 11-48t cassette somewhere. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805811005103.html January 17, 2025, 11:15:22 PM |

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
No toe overlap with size 47 shoes and 175 mm cranks. I asked for the frame weight limit, should be 150 kg according to Eddy.

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
I finally completed the build of my TanTan GR201 The complete build has been 8,670 kg (pedals included) and this is the whole setup: - TanTan GR201 frame with seat post kit, integrated handlebar and thru axles. Chameleon white color. - Easedon wheels 40mm front profile / 45 mm rear profile, 27mm internal width and Pillar Wing 20 spokes. - Sram Red E1 levers and brakes - Sram Force cranks with powermeter. Garbaruk 42T chainring - Sram GX T-Type rear derailleur - Sram X0 T-Type cassette and chain - Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M 45mm front tire - Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC 45mm rear tire I am very happy with the final weight, keeping in mind that due to area in which I live (Alpujarra in Andalucía, Spain) the terrain demands wide tyres and high knobs at least in the sides of the tires. The mullet development is also something that suits my area a bit, where there are very, very hard and very long climbs. Perhaps for those with more legs or those who live in a less mountainous area, they can opt for the new 13-speed Force XPLR that is supposed to be released in spring. I can't train because I'm recovering from an operation, but today I went out for a ride with it and the truth is that the sensations are very good. The bike seems agile and is very, very comfortable.

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
A little sneak peek. I'm almost done with paint, the storage cover was a bit tricky. The fork isn't pictured, but it matches the headtube color/effect. Last minute decision to add some logos and forego any kind of texture on the white portion. Working on the stencils now, should be ready to paint them on and add a couple final coats of clear in the next couple days. February 05, 2025, 04:54:05 AM |

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
How is that stem for you? Considering going for the same. Wouldn't recommend it, no. The compression ring is too short meaning that the headset cover couldn't clamp properly and I had headset play. Ended up designing a C-shaped spacer which I 3d-printed and added between compression ring and headset cover and the headset play is gone. The looong headset spacer you see on the picture is also 3d-printed by myself but is probably far too tall. Will probably go down by 2,5cm when I dial in the rest of the bike. That being said, I could share the 3d-files and you could have them printed locally, in which case the headset works great. February 06, 2025, 12:21:41 AM |
