Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
« on: November 10, 2025, 02:21:28 AM »
Hi,

I have a question to the geometry (sorry, if this has been already asked, didn't read the full 65 pages):

According to the geo table, the frame in size 560 has a 145mm steerer tube and fork length 400mm. The HP says "support suspension fork", normally the gravel suspension forks are 425mm length.

This would mean, that the front will be relatively low, if it runs with a rigid fork, needing 2,5 cm more spacers.

Can anyone enlight me on this topic, or anybody having problems with the low front?

Thanks
Wolfgang

Yes - I have gone for an icecrack effect AND a fade green to white - The icecrack paint effect adds some time to the painting process which is understandable - So its about 1 month from order to being painted with the effect (in my case anyway)

Time is not a problem, do you have your frame already and can tell something about the painting? Does it look good?

Anyone here who has an "ice cracked paint" finish (https://tideacebike.com/pages/customization-color-choice)?

Hi,

I've read the first view pages of this thread and the last 5 or so, but still there are some questions open for me.

1.) What size would you recommend for 184/86cm? My opinion is L
2.) It seems, that there are some different possibilities to order, what is the recommended one (or are the frames sold under different chinese brand names), I am a bit confused here (Tideace, TanTan, LongTeng, Seraph)
3.) Are there standard colours or how did you order a specific colour?

Thanks for clarification
Wolfgang

Update on my wheeltop experience: Initial setup was a bit tricky and I need to fizzle around to get it shifting smoothly, but in the end it worked well (on a shimano XT 11-46 cassette).

I was running it for ~350km mixed terrain on my hardtail, no really heavy or muddy conditions, no races. Some weeks ago after winter I cleaned my bike (no high pressure, just normal water in the garden). After some days I wanted to ride and the rear derailleur was just dead. Tried to charge for some hours but nothing changed.

Contacted wheeltop and after them sending some videos, they confirmed that the battery of the derailleur is dead and they will send me a new derailleur (after sending the old one back).

Main reason for me to choose wheeltop was, that I wanted to use my old 11spd stuff and don't need to invest in new freehub body, cassette and chain until it is end of life. But my overall experience is mixed as the setup was not really easy and on the first occasion it just died. Also the charging was annoying to me (I know, it is not their fault, SRAM patent).

In the meantime I got a used XX1 AXS groupset for a good price and will change to SRAM (I already run a SRAM XX1 AXS on a different bike and I like to be compatible to change spare parts when something breaks).

Thanks for you answer, meanwhile I found solutions for my problems.
1.) It is also possible with the app to move the derailleur down to it's initial position, just do it in the "initial setup" menu (I got a mail from support with the instructions)

2.) Shifting to 46 sprocket is also possible now for me. My chain was too long and I had to remove one chainlink. I discovered this also after fiddling around for ~2 hours.

A short test ride today worked fine for me, also shifting under heavy torque on a steep section was no problem.

Hi,

Do you know, how to enter the manual trim mode on the MTB paddle?

I accidentially startet the "initial setup" while my derailleur was on the second gear and now it is stucked there. I read, that I need to move it down all the way by "manual trimming with the paddle".

Additionally: Has anybody experience with setting up the MTB derailleur with a XT 11-46 cassette? Mine does not shift from the 37 to the 46 cog.

Thanks
Wolfgang

Hi,

Anyone here, who runs a wheeltop MTB derailleur (long cage) with a a Shimano XT 11spd 11-46 cassette, single crank? I installed mine yesterday (used cassette, new XT 11s chain) following the official setup video. The sprockets 11-37 are working fine but it does not shift from 37 to 46. Tried to increase the fine tuning value step by step but it didn't work. When I go over a certain value, the derailleur moves but immediately moves back, seem to be some kind of safety measure.

Anyone here who has experience or can provide the fine tuning values for this cassette?
