What I meant is that it seems like the derailleur is not aligned to the chainrings
Mine has a bolt that pushes against the vertical tube (onto the plate to which you hang the derailleur) that, iirc, adjusts the derailleur alignment

But I only installed 1 derailleur in all my life, maybe someone with a bit more experience can be more helpful

Thank you. That was the solution. The hanger that connects the frame with the derailleur was installed crooked.

I noticed that ceccotti have started to advertise this frame (rf25) on Aliexpress with a 50mm tyre clearance which is wrong and misleading. Ironically they have other listings which only say 47mm for the same frame and every other reseller (spcycle, surprised store, lexon etc) have it at 47mm. Geometry is exactly the same so nothing has changed.

I have tried to fit 2" Racekings and there is only about 3mm clearance on the chain stay - close enough for the "hairs" on the new tyres to brush up against the frame.

I have 48mm tires on my sp cycle frame and they can easily clear 50mm from what I've Measured

I have 47mm which measure 47mm, the 2" Racekings measure 49mm. Turn your bike upside down and you get a better perspective on the chain stay clearance.

I get that it comes down to the tyre/rim combo but I'm guessing anyone considering 45mm+ tyres will want some serious tread/knobs on the tyre which require clearance.

I don't need to turn my bike upside down. I have calipers 😁

Hi, what torque did you use to tighten the seatpost? Mine sags when I use 6Nm. Of course, I use carbon grease:-)

I had the same problem and torqued above 6nm more like 8nm. For me that works. My interpretation is, that the clamping mechanism has a larger clamping surface so going higher does not crack the seatpost as oposed to a traditional ringlike seatpost clamp.

I always torque by hand just on feel. Never broke any seatpost.

Here's mine at Braies Lake, with some tires that do her more justice (40 mm Arisun/Chaoyang that mounted on 25mm internal width rims end up at 42/43 mm effective).

Now a question: I want to replace the oem bolts for the extra mounting points (fork and rear stays) as the silver stands out too much for my liking. I tried some plastic grommets but they fit loosely and I already lost a couple. Can I go for black bolts? Or do I risk them rusting in and not being able to take them out?
