Okay, so I just received a picture of my bike completed paint job, ready to be packed for shipping.

I was concerned about the size but they have just sent me a picture of the measurements and its all good

That looks sick - Very nice. What size is that, 52?

They sent me this.  I guess this frame just has a very short head tube which had me a worried but 105 is what the geometry file says for size 52 so looks like its all right.


^^^ Corrected typo. now correctly reads 105

105, not 115?

Oops, yes sorry typo, Geometry says 105mm for the size 52 and 90mm for the size 49.

Also I see some people say the P505 is not compatible with the T47 BB, did you run into any problems or know why they claim this?

I have a magene P505 in a T47 BB in my Elves Falath EVO+ with a couple thousand km so far, seems to work alright for me.
The only Issue I had was the bolts coming loose so have added some loctite, its a common issue from a quick google search.

Hello, I recently received my Tidace Noah frame. I am trying to install the new sram XPLR 13 speed (same process and all sram transmission groupers I believe). When I tighten the big bolt on the derailleur to attach it to the frame it's still loose and wobbles when fully tight (I can't turn it any further). Is there a spacer that's required for this frame or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be great.

Just watch the SRAM XPLR 13-speed installation video in YouTube. If you follow all steps there should be no issue. I had no problems with the installation.

Recommendations for better upper and lower headset bearings?

Mine seem to be pretty worn after a season of gravelling.

I just bought the most expensive 52x40x7 stainless steel bearings on Kugellager Shop. You will do nothing wrong with it.
