Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel

[v0llhirsch]

Received my FM316 frameset around two weeks ago, and the whole ordering process was an absolute breeze thanks to Jack’s incredible support and responsiveness.
So far the only part I’m a bit unsure about are the Pathfinder 45s – they feel a bit slippery on Cat 1 gravel and especially sketchy once the ground gets wet. Might swap them sooner than expected.

Will share more updates after a few longer rides!

Very nice, reminds a bit of the Colnago color pattern.
FWIW, on tires: I tried the Schwalbe RX Pro (in 50mm) for the FM326 and they have been a blast so far.
They have been on the bike since January, so they have seen everything from snow to deep mud and now the dried out paths.
I am riding them with about 1.7 bar in a tubeless setup, no puncture so far and no slipping.

If that's too "offrad" for you, the R PRO is potentially a fit: https://www.schwalbe.com/en/Schwalbe-G-One-R-PRO-11654240.01

I'm running both. G-One RX 50 mm at the front and R 50 mm at the rear. I'm very happy with them so far. I use a bit less pressure, around 1.4 bar. They roll very well and with good grip.

Thanks for the input guys, these were actually the exact tires I had in mind for my next upgrade. I’m thinking about running a G-One R Pro 50 mm at the front and a semi-slick RS Pro 50 mm at the rear for minimum rolling resistance & maximum speed.

Hopefully that setup will finally solve the grip issue while still keeping the bike fast rolling!

I bought the Mondince FM316 last fall and I've been very impressed with it. The geometry is spot on for me, I love the longer reach and steeper seattube. I now have it set up with a slammed 130mm -17 stem to get the reach even longer, and I use the Ascent Aeroo Road handlebars to get a really nice and comfortable aero position. The back end seems more comfortable than the Tideace Noah that I had before. My only issue honestly is the tyre clearance – I've been using Tufo Thundero 48mm's with 25IW wheels, and I don't really feel comfortable going any wider on the back. Maybe 50mm's could work, but I dunno. I don't think I would be comfortable using 2.1inch TB's on this bike. I don't think I _need_ any wider than 48mm, but having that option for some terrain would be great!

Oooo, let's have a photo
I keep thinking about a pair of Aero bars!

Here's a couple photos from my bike basement! Still finalizing the fit so no bar tape at the moment.

Hey folks
Has anyone used this on the road with road tyres and would give some feedback please.
Thanks!

I just purchased the frameset today for this reason only to be used on the road because of the long front center , long reach, steep Sta (similar to Noah 3.0),threaded bb,  and not insane stack or stand over. This frameset solves all of these issues for me. I can let you know how it rides once received if interested, I did ask for all the rivets minus the ones for the water bottles to be removed as I would not be using them ever.

Would be interested in your feedback.

316/326 or 336?

Has anyone tried cutting out the internal storage walls? The storage space is too small and collects water, so I’m thinking about getting rid of the walls, but I don’t really have any idea how to do it cleanly.

planned with oscillating saw, then sanding

I am about to order the FM236. Still puzzling about the size.
The at 184cm tall I am right in the L size but everything says I should get the M, which closely matches my Cannondale Synapse 2020. Having said that, I think the slacker head tube and steeper seat tube will make the L better in the end. Any of your experiences with this frame's sizing greatly appreciated.
Anyway, this thread has been very helpful and I look forward to sharing my build!

Thank you @rdc. Appreciate this!
