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

Looks like there is another player in the tire market.  Vitoria has a peyote 32x2.4 tire in the works

I havent watched yet but may be of interest to the 32” curious crowd

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.

Are there alternatives to the Intent Samurai that goes over the counter for about 1.400 Euro? Did RockShox and Fox make any announcements that they have a 32" fork coming?

I ah e not seen or heard anything on new forks. That is until today when GMBN posted a video with a prototype Manitou fork, Reynolds carbon wheels and Schwalbe Rick XC tires. All new and unreleased.  But that means that companies are working on it.

Hi,

Thoughts regarding the rear axle spacing choice for this frame, which is supposed to be 12x157mm (Super-Boost "standard", commonly used on DH/Gravity bikes and e-bikes), that limits the hub choice for the rear, as I can only find 32 hole hubs (and all J-bend, none Straight-pull) on AliExpress (Goldix DH350 and Koozer BM550, to name a few). Isn't this choice a bit overkill for a XC frame, even if on a 32er? I mean, the rearhub itself is reinforced for the harder use of DH/Gravity, which makes it heavy, and only in 32 hole option, this also means the wheelset will be tough but rather heavy, I guess...

From what I could gather from a few other 32er frames found online, there seems to be a mix of options between normal Boost (12x148mm) and Super-Boost (12x157mm) rear axle spacing, so at this early stage of 32er life, the future path doesn't seem to be clear, as expected. Also, the Super-Boost choice will affect chainline and possibly crankset Q-factor (depending on the crank choice).

So, as I'm considering this frame for a 32er build, I'm not sure if this rear axle choice was a hit or a miss, as it may have some advantages in stiffness and durability, but at least for XC use, it seems a bit overkill and for sure it vastly limits hub choice for wheelset building....

I'm currently waiting for some news regarding the M size frame and matching carbon fork availability in stock, so I'll be following this topic...

Hi all,
someone else curious about the stand-over-high of the frame?

From my experience it will be ok for a road bike, but for an MTB it's way too high (for my taste at least).
Maybe I read the geo document in post #1 in a wrong way. I see 800mm in size L which is way more as most 120mm 29er full susser in XL have.

Not really. If you consider that for the same tyre model, by itself, a 32" rim hub/center will stand 1,5 inches higher from the ground than a 29" equivalent, those standover numbers don't seem out of place, at least for me, being that I'm no bike geo expert...

Hi everyone,

...

M & XL: shipping end of March

...

Eddy-haideli, any news regarding the M size frame availability? Also, is the matching carbon fork also already available?

Thanks

[Eddy-haideli]

Fork is finished testing, then bulk production now.

Thanks

New pictures of a real frame, nice, thanks!

So, all is set to start shipping L size frames with carbon forks by the end of this month?

Also, I've been informed that the first production batch of L size frames is sold out and you're now producing a new batch of L size frames. When will those be ready to start shipping?

I ordered this frame and fork, let's see how it goes...

Hi Eddy,

Can you help me regarding the included headset with this frame?

Joy told me a while ago that it would be this model: https://tideacebike.com/collections/headset/products/straight-bicycle-headset-52mm-1-1-2



But looking a the new pictures of the frameset at your website, it doesn't seem to be the same headset model as above:



I'm already anticipating the cable routing through the headset, stem choice, etc, for my build and it would be great to know in advance what to expect...

Thanks.

I mean, the rearhub itself is reinforced for the harder use of DH/Gravity, which makes it heavy, and only in 32 hole option, this also means the wheelset will be tough but rather heavy, I guess...

Regarding Super-Boost,  I like the standard and had 2 custom Super-boost TI Waltley 29er frames fabricated 3 years ago.   I keep hoping that Superboost will gain traction and a wider variety of components/brands become available.    The issue I faced was weather of not to go with a 73mm BB width or 83mm with BB shell.   I found that with a 73mm BB shell, the availability of cranks becomes more limited, in order to achieve the 56.5mm chainline that Superboost requires.   Therefore, I went with an 83mm BSA shell width.   

I discovered that the most cost effective rear hub is the Shimano  XT FH-M8130-B Rear 12x157mm Super Boost CL Disc Hub Microspline 32h.  I paid as low as $70 each.  By my standards, these hubs are heavier then I like, but they are bullet-proof and build a very strong wheel.    I paired this hub with a ZTTO MS compatible ultralight cassette.

Has anyone ordered the Tideace?

Is there a consumer verified weight known?
Claimed weight is for the M, but only the L was ever made?

I normally ride XL, but think the L could made to fit for me, as long as I run it with a shorter fork and shove the seat all the way aft to compensate.
