Title: seaboard/darkrock or others
Post by: Stravakiddo on September 11, 2025, 05:38:12 AM
im looking around to make a monstercross 29' x2.25.
Do anyone knows if any of those framesets are compatible with a mtb's tyre?
in case they don't, any alternative with the nearest price rank?
tnx


edit. 142mm hub spacing would be great

À lot of the hardtails mtn like SPcycle M06 are good candidates for that I think.

If one's willing to build a carbon dropbar monster cross, "a lot of the hardtails" becomes pretty "a few". The problem is the seat tube length, which is short in size S almost everywhere. Probably alu/steel/titan are less concerning in this case. Flatbar (your actual frame size) is no problem.

I´m not too sure about all the Models from Seaboard and Darkrock but the ones i´ve seen are not capable of doing more than maybe 47x700c.

You state you don´t want carbon - so is aluminium ok? My best bet for your desire would be a Riverside 920 Touring Frameset from Decathlon (no chiner of course) but a Frameset made pretty much to the specs you want. I own one myself and run 2.25 Schwalbe Thunder Burts front and back with a generous amount of room left - Frame is rated for 2.25 max on the rear and fork for up to 2,4. It also uses 142/100 thru axles as desired.

of course you can always have a look at mtb frames that might hava a conservative / oldschool geo that you might convert into a Gravel/Monstercross - there are plenty options on AliExpress that might work as a base.

If you want to compare / check fitment just have a look at how wide the rear in said riverside Frame is:
