These new gravelking X1s blew up a little bigger than 35mm! I still measure 6mm clearance between tire and seat tube… what do you think?

Fine if there’s no mud….
What do they measure to?
I picked up a pair of 45s for Unbound but my advertised clearance is 45…
its titanium. you won’t wear holes through your frame in a little mud. If you are doing serious gravel I would suggest swapping that frame for the Flint for a lot bigger tire clearance.
Depends entirely on the gravel in your area. Champagne, chipseal and hero gravel mostly? I’d send it. Plus its a titanium frame and lets be real, bikes are machines; if you’re not developing a bit of patina it’s sad quite frankly.
New to this sub and the sport. Can someone break down the importance of clearance for me?
