I have a Carbonda mtb-frame and a Yishun road/gravel-frame. Very pleased with both.

That looks great! Looks like a replacement for the Yishun G095-D?

It's very hard to make out the text, but it looks like it says 700x47C. If the geo is good and the clearance can be pushed a bit, that's a great frame.

Who in their right mind would go with the gatorskin unless you know nothing about cycling?
I run GP5k's and haven't had a puncture in over 2 years now, that's with riding a good 30,000km over shitty Australian roads.

What's your setup? Tubeless? If tubes, which kind butyl/latex/tpu?

Also Workswell.

Most frame manufacturers have an aero frame in their range.

The YAG35 rim is the same as used for Elite wheels Marvel gravel wheel set.

See PDF page 18 for spec.

Buying from Yuanan directly you can customize the wheels spec with your choice of hub and spokes.

You can make this mod to the GRX 11s derailleur by using an XT cage to make it shift an 11-51 Shimano 11s MTB cassette:

You've added Carbonda CFT896 to your comparison. Here you go with CFR696:

Never rely on producers naming of sizes, always look at the geo tabel and compare measurements to find the right size

Big positive with many gravel frames for commuting is dedicated fender mounts. Personally I would never commute without fenders and fenders mounted to a frame with dedicated mounts are superior. Would also choose a frame with externally routed cables for ease of service.

The classic and trusty Carbonda CFR696 would be a great option. Should have enough space for studded tires, fenders and room for mud/snow clearance without clogging up. https://www.carbonda.com/road/gravel/80.html

Does anybody have information om maximum chain ring size if running a 1x-setup?

I would look into some kind of shimano grx setup , 1x , 11-51T cassette seems appealing to me.

I'm also interested in this frankenstein setup on my gravel/road bike. Which parts and chainring size are you looking in to?
