Endurance frame with 35mm tyre clearance
« on: November 20, 2024, 05:36:39 AM »
Hi can anyone recommend a frame that would be similar to a specialized Roubaix.  Room for light gravel tyres but good for long distance road.  Disc brakes and reasonably light.

Long Teng 301D. I have a 268 and love it. the 301 is more recent, lighter, and takes wider tyres. It's a chonky looking boy. And because their marketing budget is a grand total of zero, it's cheap. They OEM for Argon 18. I've built 2, very well finished. And i've ridden mine over 8k km this year, so i'm confident saying they make good stuff.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

I was really considering getting this frame, but I just can't get over how flat the top part of the down tube is... It just doesn't fit the rest of the frame, looks very non aero

Each to their own, but it sounds like you're describing a kamm tail design, which is much more aero than a round tube.

Have a look at the Carbonda 1136.
It fits 35mm tires measured and has a designated Endurace Geometry.

LTK266 - similar to 301D, but probably was discontinued.

after quite a bit of searching im going to get the carbonda 505sl.  Looks very similar geometry to a roubaix.  might add a redshock stem if i want some more comfort but hopefully with 32mm road tyres that should be good enough.

great to hear! maybe you ask if they can do this paintjob since it's literally their OEM  ;)

I just posted my very positive experience with the VB-R-066: https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,5485.0.html

It checks all your boxes except 35mm. You might be able to squeeze a smaller 35c tire, but it only has 3mm clearance on either side of my 32mm Conti GP5K S TR tires. That said, I do find tubeless 32mm tires to be a great sweet spot for mostly road with light gravel.

Good choice. Also the 1136 would be a fitting option.
Both are nice. Whereas the 505SL gives you the option for real Gravel tyres, the 1136 is clearly staying in the side of a road bike.
What is the current price for the 505SL frame?

Judging by the pictures Peter sent me, the CS-R01 from XM Carbon Speed has 38mm of tire clearance, and it has a pretty relaxed geometry. Peter is a wonderful guy to talk to, I'd highly recommend him.

Is it 38mm? They say 32 on their website
