Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel

[BeR]

Could anyone who has built up this Spcycle frame with an integrated handlebar help me out and tell me what size the headset bearing cover was? 7,5min, 7mm, 6,5mm??

Many thanks.

SP-cycle also makes a 7 mm compression ring. I don't have this frame but sometimes the upper bearing is 7 mm and bottom 8 mm or the opposite.

This headset has 3 different compression rings for different heights (which seems to be very similar to the one from SPcycle):

In the product details, they show a picture recommending one compression ring or another based on the bearing seat depth.

I haven't tried it, though.

There are 6.5mm bearings too. Orginal headset bearing are of poor quality, it's not worth assembling a bike with those. Only one long wet ride and those are gone.

Now i have enduro stainless steel bearing.

That's a great idea! Could you tell me exactly which ones you're using?

I have now enduro bearings from a local bikeshop.

40x52x6.5 | IS52/40 (36×45)

I took several heights for the test. Up ans down.

Buying parts for my build now with the ali sale on (totally wasn't worth waiting 2 months for with how little I saved lol).

Did the 86.5mm BB work despite FM326 saying it takes 85.5mm? Planning on getting this BB which I've had success with in the past to use with my GRX 1x12 groupset https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002440079867.html

I had the same question several pages back. Ended up buying Across 86.5 T47 BB and it fits completely okay.

Just received my Spcycle G026 (or Mondince FM326 if you prefer  ). I initially tried to purchase it with Jack from Mondince but unfortunately they don't have competitive shipping values to Brazil so I decided to buy it from Spcycle on Aliexpress.

I read some complaints about finish issues with their frames, so I was a bit concerned, however given the circumstances and lack of other affordable options I decided to take the risk.

It took about a month from the time the order was placed until it arrived at my door (approximately 15 days for the painting work and another 15 for the shipping process). It costs me around USD $1000 (half of this value are import duties and other Brazilian taxes and fees).



Talking about the quality of the frame, I have no complaints at all. It was packed in a solid carbon box, and completely wrapped with protective material.

I spent about 30 minutes inspecting everything outside and inside. It looks perfect, without a single finish issue, quite professional service. The break mounts are also well finished and perfectly flush. The storage box looks useful, but unfortunately it's smaller than I expect. I had hoped to be able to use almost the entire down tube as storage space, but there are some partitions—at the top and bottom—that prevent this. What a bad idea. Anyway, smaller is better than nothting.

I've already ordered the other parts, I only need to make an appointment with my mechanic to assemble everything.

I finished assembling the bike this weekend. I decided to add some decals to break up the "clean" look a bit.

Is anybody running a FSA headset and stem?
