Hi @jimalex! Looking at BC TH 2x setup myself. I am however concerned with excessive loss of tire clearance with the 2x setup. You are the only one so far that I have found with a 2x setup. Can you please tell me how much tire clearance did you lose by going to 2X? In another word what’s the max 650b width tire w/ enough rm for mud and stuff can you get there in the back w/ the 2x setup.
Thank you very much for your help.

It rides great. Ultegra shifting is sharp and quick. GRX brakes take a bit more force before they kick in than the Sram GX1 I have on my mountain bike. Some fettling needed there I think.
The frame itself is lovely. And super comfortable on the 44mm tyres.
I need to look at the gearing too. It's 46+36 up front and 11-36 at the back but I could use some more spin on the trails. Will be looking at a 1x switch sometime in the future I think.
Got out for the first proper ride on it at the weekend. Many more to come. :)
I'd recommend Bearclaw to anyone looking for a ti bike out there. Great service, beautiful frames, clever design touches.
