Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[gloscherrybomb]

I did the smart thing and stole the specs from glossy (see his earlier post in this thread)

Some would say smart, others would say reckless...

The blue accents rock.

It looks spectacular.

What metrics and what amount of bolts are needed to replace the ones that come with the frame?

I have just ordered my frame

[gloscherrybomb]

They are all standard M5 bolts. If you're not going to mount things, I recommend rubber M5 bungs for the cleanest look and least weight.

I took Nylon Screws from Ali

hi, someone tried to fit some big 650b tyres?
the idea is to use some 2.2"/2.25" mtb tyres if possible

[KopytoNieBladzi]

totally recommend BUCKLOS 4$ Gravel bar tape and totally wouldn't recommend ZRace brake hoses

One question to buyers who don't use the Tideace handlebar:

Do you have any issues adjusting the headset play? Me and another buyer have the issue that the Tideace handlebar sits so tight on the fork with the reduction sleeve that you cannot adjust the headset play. You only loosen the expander after some time ...

[gloscherrybomb]

No problems with my Lexon Unox.

On my road bike I use an EXS aerover with a sleeve. It is also very tight, and makes it difficult to adust the preload. They key is too get it as tight as possible by hand before tightening the top cap.

[Uberflo]

I did that but I still have horizontal play in the headset. You can move the fork from front to back and I also "screw" the expander out of the fork while tightening the top cap. I send a video to Tideace and ordered a different sleeve from Ritchey. You can see it here how tight the handlebar sits on the fork: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B0P6u2X49Pw

[gloscherrybomb]

Yeah that's definitely a problem! Can recommend the Unox bars.

[Uberflo]

Yeah thats on my list if the Ritchey sleeve do not work and Tideace has no other solution.

[Rolandos]

Yeah same, good price. Or a used black inc bar. Can someone tell me how wide the bars are on the middle where you can hold the bars?
