i am looking into this frame and was wandering if someone could clarify tire clearance on this thing?
from what i understand the frame is same as State Cycles allroad V2 carbon. they claim tire clearance is 2.2" which roughly comes to 56mm.
when communicating with TanTan, the spec they sent me says 50mm.
any idea?

just got mine, love the frame but not being able to fit lou in the rear i will try to sell it most likely. Sussed if you are interested PM me. i have headset spare hanger and seatpost with it too.

1)not all of them do. in fact i am only aware of 1 that has 120mm bb. rest of the chinese fatties,i think there are 3 of them, have 100 mm bb.
2)hub manufacturers offer caps for 190 spacing too. sarma and jade have cups for 190mm, hope can be easily converted. cheap hubs from china all come with 190mm compatible caps. no problem here at all

i have recently heard a rumor that this frame has problems with rear rotor and lockring rub, as its dropouts were not design correctly

i keep coming back to these hubs, wandering if should pull trigger or not. anyone used these hubs ?

I'm going to use white carbon 3d helicopter tape to protect the stays and downtube and maybe the toptube.

i have used clear helicopter tape on my full susp bike frame. dont remember the gauge though. only issue i had with it was that it yellowed over time. not a big deal on some colors but quite noticeable on white frame.

i will eventually get bluto but keep rigid fork as i plan to use the bike with 29" wheels for bike touring, bikepacking, so for this purpose i will be switching to rigid. its lighter and less prone to mechanical while out there in wild.

TL, i also have same frame on order from speedercycling. shoul have it within 2 weeks. mine is 19" with 190mm rear, ud matte. i already have 90mm wheels from nextie. also in ud matte. my build is going to be simmilar to yours.
1x10 with oneup, rad cage, rf nw ring.
xt or slx brakes
rf turbine cinch, i might ponny up for next (will see)
i was going to try chineese bars but the widest they come is 680 which is narrow for me.
for hubs i decided against hope, and to go with sarma hubs. thay have 120poe.
rest will be decided along the way.

could you share some impressions on the frame?
