Tideace XC832 32er Carbon Hardtail MTB Frame

The Tideace XC832 is a 32-inch carbon hardtail MTB frame designed for XC/downcountry riding, priced at $499 (frame only) with an optional $199 fork. It features a 66° head tube angle, T47 BB, Super Boost 157×12mm rear axle, UDH hanger, integrated downtorage, and compatibility with 100mm travel forks (15×110mm front hub). The frame uses carbon material, supports 32×2.4" tires, and has internal cable routing through the headset (with optional cable ports). Key concerns include limited hub/spoke availability for 32" wheels, few tire options, and the niche Super Boost standard increasing build complexity and cost.

FM-GV201 Tideace Carbon Gravel Bike Frame

The TanTan/Tideace/LongTeng GR201 (also called GV201 or Noah) is an open-mold carbon gravel frameset popular for its aggressive race geometry, high tire clearance (officially 50mm, fits 2.1" Thunder Burts tightly), and integrated storage compartment. It features a T47 bottom bracket, flat-mount disc brakes, and numerous mounting points for bikepacking. The frame is relatively affordable, with prices around $730-$740 for a frameset (frame, fork, headset, axles). Typical frame weights are reported around 1270-1350g for a size 54. The geometry is long and low, with a short headtube, making it suitable for riders seeking an aggressive, road-like position on gravel. Builds often achieve weights under 9kg.

BIKEDOC DX28 1025g Rim Brake Carbon Disc Wheel 700C Disk Wheelset 28MM Width Triathlon Lenticular Road Wheel Set

Hi guys thought I'd post my experience with BIKEDOC DX28 Carbon Disc Wheel trading as Synergy (Xiamen) Import and Export Co as there are not many modern disc wheel designs for rim brake bikes around. I contacted a few different manufacturers/sellers and settled on BIKEDOC as they have some good reviews and designs. The lady I dealt with was Menly who was very helpful and was able to provide specs close to what I requested. I did want their FB01 31mm toroidal shape which was my request but this could only be built as disc brake only so I settled on the DX28 which is rim brake compatible. So full specs as follows: Depth Solid disc wheel toroidal design Rim width outer 28mm Internal 22mm Widest point 29 mm (toroid). Engraved brake track Specified weight ~1050g Measured weight 1023g I chose their standard hub which spins fine and still smooth. Finish is very nice in the matt UD and there are also nice seals on the hub end caps which I know some hubs don't have. I haven't noticed any issues with runout and everything still appears very true. The wheel seems solid/stiff and the ratchet is loud! So far I've ridden 2 x 90k tt, 1 x 80k tt, 40km TT plus 80km or so warmup and the wheel has held up well and still like new. Feels very fast with the conti GP5000 S TR and TT TR 28c tire set up as tubeless and running ~67psi, S TR measures ~30mm and TT TR measures ~31mm. So arguably the S TR is a little more aero on this wheel. I was first in my age group off the bike in IM70.3 Melbourne on a windy course so the wheel is definitely fast as I am no power house on the bike. If I change up to a disc brake TT bike I will be definitely contacting them again as these wheels are great value and fit for purpose. I definitely recommend you contact them if you are on a budget.
