So can anyone actually confirm with photos that a 2.1 thunder burt fits in this frame?

Photo makes the clearance look a bit tighter than it really is.
It is a close call, though:




Front no problem:

Im thinking to order this frame and Im looking around about components for the build.
A sram DUB wide crankset with 13 speed cassette would work with it? Or I need the non wide DUB?
Otherwise Im thinking about a Senicx Gr2 crankset, but Im not sure it would work with sram flattop chain

I had senixc cransket and it was crap.had to push it really hard to make it fit the bb. I think the shaft wasn't 100% straight, fucked up my bearings a little. Changed to force cransket and all good.

Is anyone able to post some photos of the clearance for a front derailleur with 45-50mm tires? Hoping to run 2in mtb tires on this frame but not sure I will need to go to 1x to do so.


Thanks!!

Anyone have any reviews on how it rides? Unsure to keep my order or try to grab a new Dark Matter frameset.

I put 400km on it and I'm pretty happy! Would buy it again.

Hi!
I'm thinking of building my first gravel bike on this frame, I'm 180cm tall, 85cm inseam, should I go for size M? And has anyone used a mechanical derailleur? Thanks a lot for your answers!

Just bit the bullet and ordered one. Raw carbon glossy. They reckon it will be shipped in 7 days.

Hi, what stem is this - did you get it with the frame? I am thinking of building up this frame, possibly very similar to your build, but unsure of what aftermarket stem options exists?

FYI I was quoted a price reduction of $60 if I forego the bar/stem.
