Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel

[rebbesen]

Hi all,
I’m waiting for my Mondraker FM316 frame and I’ve already picked up a complete SRAM Force XPLR 13-speed groupset plus Elite Wheels Aero+ wheels (32 mm internal).

Has anyone here successfully run Schwalbe Thunder Burt 29×2.1 on this frame?

I know actual tire width depends a lot on rim internal width, and with 32 mm internal I suspect the TB 2.1 will measure quite a bit wider than nominal.

If you’ve tried it, could you share:
Measured tire width (mm) on your rim
Clearance at fork + chainstays/seatstays

Thanks!

I am curious as well because I also have these wheels.

I'm also curious actually.

For reference I am currently running Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H 700x50 on the Elitewheels Gravel Aero+, and the tires blow up to 54 mm. The clearence on the back is tight.

Hey, guys! I bought a version of this frame from spcycle and it doesn't provide a bag for storage space. It seems Mondince has such a bag, could someone please show it in a photo (preferably from several angles). I'll try to custom-make a similar one. By the way, how do you like this bag? Maybe there are some thoughts about improving it?

Sorry, no pictures of it, as the bag that came with my frame is already in the bin. Just too small to be of any practical use - about half the width and height of the storage box - you could possible use it store a highlighter pen or cigar, but not much else.. An old sock would function better than the supplied bag

I would also have a tire-related question:
For those running 50mm tires: how much clearance ist there above the tire to the seat tube?
Would it be enough to squeeze in mudguards/fenders?
(I guess the fork is not problem.)

Here's some pics of the bag. I agree with the comments about it being pretty small.

Here's a pic of the seat stay/seat tube clearance. These are 50mm Conti Terra Hardpacks that measure out to about 52.5mm WAM on 32.5mm internal width rims. I'd say <1cm at the narrowest point.

Where are you located? Any reason you can’t buy it online?

It seems to be very hard to find this groupset apart from u folks in the USA as it is fairly very new. Which retailer or e tailer did you purchased it from? Which biggest online bike dealers in the USA carries all the major inventory of SRAM  I am from the middle east and most of out stuff here is only Shimano. I think SRAM is very abundant in the USA. Very hard to find SRAM force XPLR 13 speed groupset. Can u please give me some leads?

It's small but a few useful things can be packed into it.
In my case:
- two TPU tubes
- latex gloves
- zip ties
- tubeless puncture kit

You might want to check if https://r2-bike.com/ ships to your country.
They are located in Germany and carry a large inventory

Thank you! Looks tight, but might be doable

Hi,

I'm in Denmark, so I have actually ordered from r2-bike.com, as also suggested by v0llhirsch. They were the only ones (from DE, which is cheaper than eny online shops in DK) having a complete groupset with crankset in 160 mm w. watt: but I can see that now it's the 170 and 175 in stock: https://r2-bike.com/SRAM-Force-XPLR-AXS-Wide-HRD-E1-Gravel-Groupset-1x13-AXS-Powermeter-Crankset

[Japeke]

Mondince 1-bolt seatpost is really good. Have you found similar ones elsewhere?

I ordered spcycle hb-068 handlebar. 105di2 levers, deore m6250 derailleur and red crank.
Maybe 46t front and 10-51 rear.

The dimensions look good. I'll just move more forward.

hb-068 is included in the picture. The rest should arrive next week.
