dcrf26 frame - Scott Foil?

[abdbeg]

Thank you. That helps a lot. I have a 31mm wide wheelset on order that I have high hopes for and I wanted to make sure it fits the frame.
My frame has not been shipped yet. LTWOO er9 is currently sold out in the official LTWOO store. I don’t really want to order anywhere else.

BTW, TanTan claimed on instagram that they tested this frame with 32c tyres .

Yeah, on a rim that narrow (internally) my guess is that the 32c Continental comes out undersized and is probably narrower than 32mm.

That’s why I’m always asking for actual measured clearance in Millimeters. Just because a tire is labelled 32c doesn’t mean it measures 32mm as we all know. And the rim dimensions also obviously play a huge role in how wide and high the tire will be when inflated. But I’m confident that this frame will have enough clearance for my requirements.

if you can wait a few days i'll take the measurements

Can someone please tell me the length of the seatpost? Is a minimum insertion length printed on it or otherwise mentioned?

Seatpost length is 350mm.
Minimum insertion is usually 1/3 of that.

@Sebastian: can you also tell me the maximum tire clearance in the rear please?

Lol.  Continental recommend 22-24mm and 21-25mm is the official compatibility IIRC.

They must have really had to search around for a 15.5mm ID rim to shrink the tire width enough to claim 32 compatibility.

Exact measurements have been posted here a few pages back. I have not received my own frame yet.

Thanks, I found the post: 44mm

@Admins Can we merge these threads somehow? TanTan TT-X38=DCRF26

Makes no sense to keep both threads.

Any more long term reviews of this frame? Can pick one up for around $500 USD with the current AliEx sales. I want a stiff bike to race crits. Wondering if this will fit that bill.

2.500 km on mine. As much as I like this bike, I can't recommend this particular manufacturer - as in Sequel Sports. As I wrote in this thread earlier. User Frank and me we both had forks which looked very unclean inside and were not round in places. The RD cable exit port on my frame was very rough inside. Rough to the point that I had to properly go about in there with a file to put the cable through. The seller's reaction was very telling in that they didn't acknowledge the problem on neither Frank's frame nor mine, saying that all their frames were like that. So if you buy there, you're definitely taking a big gamble with regards to QC.

With all that said: I like the bike. I like the way it rides. I think it's plenty stiff. I think I answered that question already in the TT-X38 thread. We were all posting there for simplicitiy's sake, since it's the same frame. And if you want this frameset, I'd say rather buy it from Tan Tan. It seems their quality is more consistent. Though there are examples of this frame from Tan Tan where the upper headset bearing was sitting too loose.

i am enamored with this frame. can someone point me to the best seller, the one without color in this thread looks amazing.

I ordered mine directly from TanTan and it's been mint. It felt a little sluggish on the get-up-and-go early on, but as I've adjusted to it from my Argon 18 Gallium CS, it feels like a weapon now. It's downright fast.

For TanTan's part - everything was in _pretty_ good shape when I got mine. I had to face the caliper surfaces a bit and did some small cleaning of the upper bearing assembly cup in the frame, otherwise I consider it pretty good quality.

I will say, the dust cover for the seatpost clamp is pretty world class shit, would *love* to find a replacement for it and the bottom bracket interface was a little soft, had a small splatter of paint that I had to clean up, but that's all to be expected with these sorts of buys. I'm really happy with it.

mine came from sequel store on aliexpress
