A new headset will not solve the issue as the Tantan uses proprietary spacers. I dont think there is any other C ring available that will fit this handlebar.
Sooo.... 1600 km with this frame which include 2x 220 km rides
It is my main long distance bike now, but for some reason I'm thinking about going full back on XC as a ,,do it all,, since that was always my way before this project
I've got the Tideace frame and the Lenox handlebar.
I've used the bearings and the metal C-ring that comes with the Lenox handlebar and got a little bit of play (1 or 2 mm). Do you know how can I fix it? Using the plastic C-ring?
@jaypayne05 Frame looks great - what colour code was that?
IIRC the default position is already as close as they can get. You can only get them further away from the handlebars. At least that's what i've heard. Given how small the shifters are the lever reach seems rather high unfortunately.
Is it possible to adjust lever reach? I find that the levers are too far from the handlebar for my tastethat top screw should do the trick.
Do you really need a chain guard with wheeltop gex? I'm also thinking about this specific model of chain guard.
With full integration or you use this frame cap with holes?
Just tight enough so that there is no play in the headset. It's also called "pre-load" and describes pretty much what it does. If you want a torque setting I'd go with 1-1.5Nm. 5Nm is definitely too much and might even overload the bearings i.e. excessive wear. The top cap does not hold the fork (except during the installation process), the handlebar bolts/clamp will do that. It really is just to pre-load the whole setup so that it is nicely tight when you torque the handlebar bolts to spec. If you want, you could even remove the top cap and screw afterwards - not recommended since it leaves a hole and looks shit but just technically speaking.
Interesting. Most people would have actually preferred a "no hole fork" but didn't know that would have been an option, from what I saw. Sucks, that you see it the other way round. And totally agree with you, they should have made that clear during the ordering process. But not surprised either. One thing I learn from ordering Chinese direct to consumer, is that I over-confirm everything. Had a few "aha-moments" on similar details where I thought everything is clear but turned out it wasn't.
Which handlebar do you use? Max. 2 nm on the cap
its a DUB wide crankset with BBinfinite bottom bracket and their wide spacers@gloscherrybomb is using the same setup as me so he already helped me out. Thanks
It fits without a spacer, but I used a small one (0.5mm maybe?) just to give a little extra clearance.
