Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[pieterjnz]

Look like I got quite a big gap between frame and fork on my gr201 (using kugellager bearings and lexon unox handlebar). If i watch others with this combination they have a lot less room between fork and frame. I have some creaks when im out of the saddle, maybe this is also a reason?

looks about the same as mine

I know that state bicycle does have one for their allroad which is using the same frame: https://www.statebicycle.com/products/carbon-all-road-v2-team-edition

I asked Eddy from Tideace if they have one, and he kindly offered to include it to my order, for free. But it can't be painted.

Hi.
How long did you wait for the frame to be painted and shipped from Tan Tan?
I placed my order with Jessi on September 29 and still haven't received any information that the frame has been painted.
I'm starting to get worried.

Hello,

you have to be patient. I placed my order with Vivian on September 15 and received the pictures of the frame and the tracking number on November 3. I guess it will take another two weeks.

Took me around 3 weeks to get it painted, because they had some holiday in the spring.

I'm thinking about buying this frame. Is it possible to mount a 46T chainring on a size 52 frame without any issues?
I'm also wondering what would be better for an all-road setup: a 42T chainring with a ZTTO 9–46 cassette or a 46T chainring with a 10–50 cassette?

You can definitely fit a 46 Chainring, I had a 46T Wolftooth chainring on an Magene Power meter crank but the chainline was not ideal.

I would recommend the 42T with 3mm offset combined with the 9-46 Cassette as this will give you a better chainline.

All this depends on your groupset, I don't like running ZTTO with SRAM or Shimano as the indexing is just not always perfect in all gears but if using one of the Chinese groupsets that will be great.

Im running GRX with 42T and 10-50 Cassette. I Live in a hilly area and never need anything smaller than the 10 or bigger than the 50. Even considering going to a 40T with 10-46 now as I seldom use the 10.

Thanks for the answer. I live in a hilly area too, but I'm probably a high speed fan, since right now I'm riding on roads (on another bike) with a Shimano 105 Di2 and 50/36 chainrings, 11-34 cassette and even the 50-11 combination it's not enough for me.

I'd like to make the GV201 an all-road bike, using it on road with one set of wheels and on gravel with another set. To do that, I'm searching for a good combination that could work on both situations.

I'm powerful enough to climb the steepest hills with a 42-44 combination on my actual gravel bike, though I probably find it easier with a 42-46 combination. That's why I'm looking the 9–46 cassettes, because I need high speed on downhills and preferably wide cassette for the steep hills.

A 44T or 46T chainring with a 10-50 cassette should be a good combination too, but at the cost of some weight... Though if it has to work better with the SRAM Rival XPLR rear derailleur than the 9-46, I'm all in.

The main reason for the 42T instead of 44T or 46T is the chainline, once you go larger than 42T you need to use a 0 offset chainring, this moves the chainring outwards by 3mm which gives you a lot of flex on the chain when  on the big sprocket at the rear, it does work though just sounds quite bad and results in quicker chain and cassette replacements due to excessive wear.

A 42T with the 9-46 will be your go to, I'm just not sure about the gear pitch and which groupset its more suitable for. When you ask ZTTO they will tell you its compatible with both Shimano and Sram but when you look at the Shimano vs Sram the spacing is different between the gears so the ZTTO must match one or the other or they have sprockets spaced in a way to try compromise on both, either way you wont know till you get it. In the end again it will work but indexing wont ever be as good as Shimano/Shimano or Sram/Sram pairing.

A 42T with the 9-46 will be your go

Which 9-46 (or 10-46) 13 speed cassette would you recommend? Thinking of swapping from my current 46T 11-50 for the chainline issue.

[gintokisensei]

I’ve finally decided to go 2x. After talking it through with some friends, we all concluded the same: 2x is the best option if I want to use the bike in both disciplines.

I’ll go for a SRAM Rival/Force AXS. I’m thinking about 160 mm rotors. Do you know which adapter I’ll need?

[Uberflo]

The adapters are included with the brakes, nothing special.
