Just got a T-lab x3 together. It’s set up to balance gravel and cx racing, though honestly I think I like the way it handles for road rides better than my road bike too. More experimentation will be required. High top tube for frame bags and cx carrying, steering geometry halfway between Cannondale superx and otso waheela. Set up with mullet drivetrain and 48t chainring. If this cleared a larger 50-52 I might replace my road bike. If only they could fit 45mm tires and 50-52 chainring with fairly short chainstays.
Roval terra wheels, and it is “The Bomb-diggity”.
I’ve already spaced the chainring out a bit to fit 48, so I don’t think that more clearance can be achieved with this design. If anyone has ideas though, I’m happy to hear them.
