Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[Uberflo]

Thanks for the info. So, bottom bearing, top bearing, C-ring and top cone including spacers from FSA ACR?

No, for bottom a 52x40x7 45/45 bearing. The FSA will not fit as it uses 36/45 degree.

oh okey, so i can use the tideace stock bottom bearing and the fasa top bearing?
sounds weird cause one of my friends told me he built up the bike with both bearings from FSA which came with the ACT Nr.55r Headset... maybe that is the reason why there is play?

[Uberflo]

Yes, the 36 degree FSA bearing does not fit well on a 45 degree crown race
I would change the delivered quality unknown bearing against a higher quality one.

[hansdotter]

okey, any recommendation? thnks for your help

[hansdotter]

Sorry for all the messages, but I just want everything to work perfectly and be installed correctly.

So, I'm using the original FSA bearing at the top. And at the bottom, I'm using the 52x40x7 45/45.

If I use the bearing with the larger angle at the bottom, do I also use the Race bearing, or is the bearing with the larger angle also mounted directly onto the steerer tube?

Fork: 45/45 52x40x7 bearing (see pic attached for illustration of which way up the bearing should be installed)

Headset: use FSA ACR you mentioned.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Simo and everyone else! You helped me a lot 

So i already ordered the FSA ACR No.55r. And will order the bigger angled 45 degree bottom bearing.

If there is any recommandation for a good 45/45 52x40x7 bearing - just let me know - thanks

I'd always get stainless steel or SLT.

For other countries you can get it at Kugellager Shop. 45/45 is the most common standard for bearings.

Given the Lexon bar issues on many guys; what is now the most recommended gravel handlebar?

[Uberflo]

The speeder cycling is also a nice bar for this frame. The acr headset gives a nice flush finish with the top cap w/o any gap.
