Hello!
New to the forum, new to 29"-bikes...

Planning on a new bike to build up over the year - so i'm collecting parts and infos at the moment.
The idea is to create something which i can use for touring, getting out and do quite some miles a day, without caring about the terrain - aka a Gravelgrinder.
Therefore I would like to use a big chainring, something around 50T to be able to put up some speed.
But Iam wondering:

Does the M-062 fit such an big chainring? The Diameter of a 50T chainring is ~21cm.
Would somebody who runs the frame, measure it and give me note if it would interfere with the frame or not?

Thanks and hello from germany.

IMHO 50T is way too big to be running on that type of bike.

Im building up a similar style bike around one of these frames at the moment, actually most of my parts arrived today, just waiting on the workswell frame/fork

Im going to be running 2 x 10sp XT, will have plenty of range for speed on fireroads etc and also to easily climb whilst loaded up with bikepacking bags etc.

Ive also got a touring/gravel grinder/cyclocross bike which is set up with 11speed shimano, currently have a 48t big ring and would not want to go any bigger on that, off road with decent tires (even on road on this type of frame) i think you'll find 50T waaaay to big.

Anyway thats just my 2c.

Hi all
Thanks for all the detailed info on this thread, its been great trawling through all the little ins and outs of the frame before ordering!
Ive been looking at one of these frames for a while now and am planning on setting it up rigid, mainly as a singletrack/ bikepacking/ go anywhere machine.

Just wondering if anyone on here has bothered trying to set up a front mech on theirs?
Im either going to go double or single up front, leaning towards a doublem mainly for loaded adventure duties. According to Workswell you can run a front mech, but the cable routing looks a little suss to me.
Anyone bothered to try it on theirs?

Cheers, Simon
