29er / Re: Frame advice - hardtail with a 40T (or more) chainring
« on: February 15, 2025, 04:00:27 AM »
I've chosen my usual frame size with the shortest stem to reduce the reach. I also used a seat post without offset and moved the saddle forward. This setup works well for me, and I use 165mm cranks.

Have you heard of this website?

I was wondering which frame you have choosen. The Seraph/TanTan FM199?

Do you know what the max size front chanring will fit on this frame?

Hi!

First of all, thanks for letting me join this forum. I've already trawled through a few of the threads here, and wow what a massive treasure chest of information.

I am looking for a XL sized hardtail frame (not gravel, just a regular hardtail) with the ability to fit a rather large chainring (40T or ideally 44T). So far I've eyed the following:

My findings/opinions about these frame so far:

Spcycle SP-M028
Unknown chainring capacity (question sent to seller), nice design, good geometry

Airwolf YF-M026
Max chainring 44T according to seller (after asking), bulky design, good geometry

Spcycle SP-M030
Max chainring 36T according to listing, ok design, good geometry. Might be able to fit a 40T with more offset on the chainring?

Flyxii FR-701
Unknown chainring capacity (question sent to seller), quirky design, good geometry. I guess 40T shouldn't be a problem, but with a large cassette there might be some limitations. Not a fan of the design though.

Ceccotti MF-05
46T chainring capacity according to seller, nice sleek design, somewhat cramped geometry compared to the other frames.

Seraph/TanTan FM199
According to various posts here this frame should take a 42t or possibly 44t chainring. Nice design, nice geometry. I think this might be the one.


Are there any other alternatives that you know of that I should consider looking at? It doesn't really matter if it's boost or not as long as it's a big frame (21"/XL) and can fit a 40T (or larger) chainring.

Have you seen story about the Airwolf YFM-026 on bikepacking.com? See also the comments with an update. Spoiler alert:  he isnt'using the frame anymore. https://bikepacking.com/news/readers-rig-willems-airwolf/#:~:text=Our%20Reader%E2%80%99s%20Rig%20of%20the%20week%20comes%20from%20Willem%20Schouten
