What happened to you? Why is your cockpit broken?

Posted the picture some pages back, post #922

TLDR: Did a wheelie one day, heard a faint "pop/crack" sound thinking it was just a creak coming from the seatpost or saddle and discovered a light hairline scratch on the side at the stem.
Already had some issues with headset play and the bar rotating sometimes. Didn't want to risk it any longer and swapped the whole thing.

Ah i see i'm not the only one with a cracked Lexon bar :/

Switched to the full Deda system: no regrets. Didn't have to retight my headset at all and no creaking noise. 10/10 would recommend lol

Well, guess we're gonna need to open a GR201+X67 owner club next year then lol

Quick question, is the seatpost tightening bolt suppose to stick out that much underneath the top tube? That looks quite odd.

Same here, I'm in the market for a pure road bike to go with my Tideace GR201 and the X67 in size 52 appear to check a lot of box. I'm not big on the other Tantan "replica" style frames and the new X65 seatpost is just too bulky/ugly for me lol

Too bad there's only Rapac's build on the web, but it sure does look sickkk and very tempting!

Hi!
I'm looking for the width and length of the frame storage opening, cant seem to find anywhere.

Can any happy owner measure it?
A bonus for anyone who can compare it to the Spesh Diverge's SWAT.

Cheers,
C

I got 50x140 mm for the opening on mine.

Well, i somehow cracked my Lexon Unox this weekend while doing the most basic wheelie on the road. Heard a light "crack" after landing the front wheel, thinking it was just the seapost creaking.
Only saw it at home while cleaning with the microfiber catching on the crack. It looks superficial, probably just the top coat but safety first: tossed the bar in the part bin.

Ordered a full Deda DCR system : Superbox 100mm + Deda alloy Gravel bar in 380mm + DCR Headset.
Hydraulics rooted internally thru the stem and bar, both shifting cables underneath the stem and it looks pretty neat i must say.
I used the 35x45° compression ring (the grey one sold with the superbox stem) for a minimal gap between the top bearing cover and frame. The 45x45° compression ring made too big of a gap for my liking.

Looks less cooler than the one piece combo, but on the upside: no more headset play at all and everything is stiffer and pretty bomb proof now. Won't break that with my whole 65kg anytime soon lol

What headset bearings are you using?

The one Tideace gave with the frameset. Which, looking back at this thread, wasn't probably the best choice.
It works for now tho and i reallllyyy don't want to redo the whole integrated routing again with 4 cables.
Just saw the new wireless XTR Di2 announcement and it's backward compatible with GRX Di2 hood. So that's promising for my next upgrade.

Lol before I opened the image in full size, I thought you went with some crazy 4-spoke carbon wheels

2nd lol on that wahoo case

How do you like the handlebars? Good fit?

I expected the cockpit to be something really stiff, but there's a bit of flex in the drop which makes it quite comfy overall while riding.

Still need to sort out the headset play. Both metal and plastic compression ring shipped with the cockpit aren't 100% tight on my bearing. Nothing dramatic for now tho, but i'll probably need to get another headset.

And yeah, cat ears are A E R O lmao

Hey! I can finally post my Tideace Noah too

Frame : Size 49 (I'm 173cm / Inseam 80 / Saddle height 69cm for reference)
Color : Matte metallic purple without any logos. I don't have a color code, i just pointed to one of their instagram post and said "i want that please"
Groupset : Shimano GRX 820 front and rear derailleurs (2x12s) / GRX 610 for the hoods and crankset / GRX 400 for the brake calipers (boooo) and a 105 12s road cassette 11-34
Cockpit : Lexon Unox 90/380 mm with 15mm of spacers
Pedals : Shimano XT
Seatpost : Still playing with setback/no setback, for now it's a cheap Neatt Carbon
Saddle : Prologo Dimension NDR
Tyres : The brand new Hutchinson Caracal in 45mm
Wheels : Some cheap heavy OEM Felt rims with entry level Shimano hubs
Top tube bag : Cervelo Smartpack
Weight : 9.45kg as pictured (without the bottles and gps)

I was riding a Felt Breed 30 in size 54 and it was a bit on the bigger side and too upright for my liking. Decided to jump on the Tideace wagon for something more agressive. And boy, people didn't lie : it's a loooong boy lol. Still, it's a very comfy ride yet the frame is quite stiff and very responsive. There's some slight toe overlap with my size 40 shoe and 172.5mm cranks, but only at some weird ankle angle. Nothing that will make crash while riding or stop me from turning the front wheel.

All in all it took 1 month for the frame to arrive here in France (Order placed 3rd April, delivered May 7th). Great communication with Eddy, except that i asked for the cover to be painted too and he forgot to tell me before shipping that they couldn't paint a matte finish onto the plastic. Had to pay for a new cover with a glossy finish, i'll try to make it work somehow.

Already clocked 350km on a mix of road, farmland trail and wide forest road and it's been a blast so far. Now i'm just waiting Shimano to release the wireless XTR/XT groupset (and maybe GRX?) because i'm not touching those mechanical cables internally routed anymore, that was not fun AT ALL, can't recommend lol. Will get a real wheelset too at the end of the month, i can feel that right now it's dragging the bike down.

Can't attached the picture, so here's a link :

Ben Delaney featured my bike at The Traka on his latest video:

Apologies for the incoherence, I was COOKED.

Just saw the video in my recommended.
"Wait! A Noah with an orange chainring... I know that bike !!"

Hi!
I'm exactly the same proportions as you. Went for a 52 frame with a short stem. But I'm looking for a more stable ride on steep descents, more front-center, less toe overlap with a big front tire. Will see how it goes, the bike is currently in the making

Ah! Another "inbetween 2 sizes" average height human . I ordered a size 49 earlier this week, will probably build it a bit more "fast gravel racing" than big-mtb-tires-shredding, seeing how i don't really have that much elevation and steep trails around me. Can't wait tho!!

Sorry, my message was meant for @TikO.

Ah yes good eye! A 100mm stem seems pretty spot-on reach wise for me, but i guess you never know until you get the frame!

I'm 170 with 79 inseam and same saddle height. Went for 49 and have a 100 mm bar. I run the only 2 spacer that are required to run the bar (15mm).

Damn, that's it. I'm getting the 49 then, thanks. Your bike looks awesome!!

Hey everyone,
Another new user asking for size recommendation lol

I'm getting a frameset next month, but i'm torn between size 49 and 52.
I'm 1,73m with a inseam of 80cm and a saddle height of 69cm. Usually riding size 51-52 bikes (or S on some brands).
Reach and stack wise, i can fit on both sizes. I would probably run a slammed 80-ish cm stem on a 52, while i could run a longer stem on the 49 with at least 15mm of spacers.
I'd rather have a nimble bike than a small boat, so i'm tempted to go with the 49 but i'm worried it will be a bit on the "too" small side.

Anyone in the same size bracket with any advice or feedback on their bike so far ?
Thanks a lot.
