[Eddy-haideli]

Hi everyone,

First of all, thank you to the community and all the members here.
We really appreciate the open discussions, honest feedback, and shared passion for riding and bike tech.
This kind of community is exactly why we enjoy being involved in forums like Chinertown.

With the holidays here, the Tideacebike team would like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄🚵‍♂️.
We hope you’re enjoying some well-deserved time off — and hopefully getting a few rides in as well.

We’d also like to share something new with the group and invite interested members to join our pre-order for a project
we’ve been developing specifically with modern XC and downcountry riding in mind.

🔔 Pre-Order Open: Tideacebike NEW Mold 32er XC Carbon Hardtail

FM-XC832 | XC / Downcountry Hardtail MTB Frame

This is a brand-new mold designed around modern XC geometry, larger wheels, and real-world trail usability — lightweight,
race-ready, but stable enough for technical courses and long days on the bike.


We have carefully considered two key factors in the frame design.
While a 32-inch wheel diameter can lead to slower steering, we have effectively addressed this issue through geometry optimization.
Specifically, we adjusted the head tube angle, chainstay length, and bottom bracket height to ensure that the larger wheel size remains stable while offering more responsive handling.
This allows for precise steering even with the larger wheels.

Additionally, our frame geometry is specifically optimized for the M-size, catering to riders of different heights.
This design ensures that more riders, regardless of their stature, can experience the smooth ride that a 32er offers.
With this innovative design, the frame not only enhances the performance of the larger wheels but also improves rider comfort and control,
delivering an efficient and enjoyable riding experience.

looks great.  one question, is the cable routing through the headset?  can cable ports be added upon request?

[jefflinde]

Do you mind posting the geo chart?  i am 6' with a 33" inseam.  want to make sure i am not ordering a bike for Shaq.

Not mind, still being updated.

Thanks

Can cable ports be added to the frame?  i don't want to have to route through the headset.  is that an option?

I have been thinking about the specs for this frame.   

1.  Super boost 157 rear hub:   - Superboost hasn't taken off as a standard.  Yes, superboost builds a strong rear wheel, (perhaps great for a 32 rim), but a rear hub can cost $250 to $500 each.  I never found an Aliexpress store that sells 157mm rear hubs.   I once had a hub manufacturer quote me to build 157mm rear hubs, but I didn't know what I would do with a bunch of slow selling rear hubs.

2.  73mm BB shell width.   When I had my superboost based TI bikepacking frame fabricated,  I decided to go with an 83mm BB shell.   If you go with a 73mm shell width, then the selection of cranksets available, that supports the 56.5mm chainline becomes limited.    By having an 83mm BB shell width, the crankset selection let me chose form a lot more cranks and all I had to do was use the proper width crank axle.

3.  On a positive note,  a couple stores in Aliexpress are selling 32er carbon rims.  Yeah!!

4.  As far as I can tell, there are only 2, 32er tires available.  The Maxxis Aspen and the Vee Tire T-Monster Tire.  Both start over $100 each.

Do I want to become an early adopter, or wait to see if this is just another short lived trend.

You can get the M8130 xt super boost rear hub for 39.99 brand new from universal cycles.  It is actually cheaper than the matching front hub. I am ordering that combo shortly.  Also I like the ALiexpress rims. Nestor has some new ones that are 340g but I was quoted $500/rim for those bad boys. So the $180 rim at 440g seems like a much better deal.  My current hang up is spokes. I know Berd makes them long enough and I have heard that dt Swiss are available up to 320mm which would be long enough but I can't seem to find a source for them. Also I have heard that macOS is coming out with 4 additional tires models in the 32" size. Definitely would be an early addopter at the moment but it seems to be picking up quickly.  Kind of like the fat bike phenomenon from 10yrs ago.

Shhh!!!!  Don't tell the world about this great price on these hubs.   Seems like a screaming deal.  So much so, I just placed an order for 4 hubs.     For Superboost real wheels, the M8130 has been the most cost effective hub, (although a bit heavy) around.  - I've built 6 rear wheels to date using this hub for my 2 superboost based bikes.

Eddy-haideli - Question?  Will the front fork use 100mm or 110mm wide front hubs?

Fork Travel: 100mm  15*110mm

100mm

Thanks.   110mm would built a stronger front 32 wheel, but isn't absolutely necessary since it is a front wheel.  The majority of my front wheels these days run on 110mm wide suspension forks and 29er rigid 110mm carbon forks.

Anyone have any leads on a fork for this bad boy? Speaking on a suspension fork.

I know Wren and Intend make one currently. I can't fathom that the other brands can't change there springs to adjust like Wrens.

the only existing forks that will/would work are the inverted forks that don't have an arch on the lowers.  I wonder if a solution like what BMC did with extenders for the bottom of the fork would ever be sold to the masses.  that would be the perfect solution, since you could just use existing forks with adapters. 

[jefflinde]

100mm

the front is really a 100mm spacing not boost?  So the frame is super boost rear and non-boost front?  Also, can you let me know if i can order this with cable ports in the frame instead of routing through the headset?

[Eddy-haideli]

Sorry that we made a mistake for the date attached, it is Fork Travel: 100mm  15*110mm
