Mondince FM336

Would the FRONT fit 2.1s?

No. More than a 50mm wouldn't leave enough clearance. I will post a picture tomorrow.

Yes, I texted him as soon as I saw the tire clearance issue, that's why he texted all of you regarding that.

Don't look at stem spacers. I am figuring out the fit, I know they look ugly...  :'(

I appreciate you reaching out to him and voicing your concerns. I switched to the FM296 as a result. Fitting larger tires is big for me because of the type of riding I do. I’m a bit disappointed because the frame is beautiful. Has anyone asked him if they plan on doing a frame with larger clearance?

I have. He said they're looking into releasing a frame with space for 57mm tires. Although this is just a plan. He was talking a
about something like three months. I asked what it would be based on but then he said it's just a plan for now. So I just just went with the fm336 still.

Yea, it's a bit dissapointing because I bought the frame with that clearance in mind. He offered me a new frame with discount or refund 100 euro due to the false data. He told me that returning the frame is so expensive it is not even considered.

I did a 10km ride just to test ride it and on pavement because I am waiting for my 45mm tire to arrive. It felt very good. Planted and solid. I come from a Bianchi Zolder Pro (cyclo-cross bike) and it's completely different. The other one was twitchy and had a very reactive ride. This is the opposite. Longer, lower, predictable and more comfortable. Still finding my preferred stack height so I can cut the steering tube again.

How did the build went? Was everything okay? Were the brake mounts and bb faced? How does the storage space look like? Is it separate space or just a hole in downtube?

50mm G-ONE RS, don't think a 2.1 fits safely.

The build went really smooth. I didn't have any problems at all. All went fine. Rear brake mount supports a 160mm rotor natively. I had to remove the adapter that came already attached to the caliper. It was my first time building a bike.

The frame storage is a hole in the frame and the storage door comes with fidlock magnetic system. Pretty good. The bag that comes included is soft and dampens vibrations well. Cable rooting is good as well. There are cable guides inside the frame and they hold the cables well (I only have one - the rear brake)

All the problems I faced came from the person between the tools and the bike (me 😂).

@Igital96
How long did it take from order to delivery?

It actually got delayed. They told me that it would be sent out at the beginning of March, but due to the fork manufacturing mistakes, it was delayed 2 weeks. I ordered it at the beginning of February, which was bad timing due to Chinese New Year celebration. I assume it wouldn't take much time nowadays.

Put some protection in the rear chainstays and sent it for a bit. Liking the ride so far.

Is this the luxon gravel handlebar ? how do you like it ? I am not sure of the wide flare for my usage.

I will buy this frame very soon !

Yes, it's the Lexon Uno Gravel handlebar. 380mm at the hoods and 480mm at the drops - 80mm stem. I was a bit skeptical about such difference of width but honestly I like it. I makes me feel very safe going downhill. I have not tried multiple handlebars so I cannot tell you they are my favourite, but I like them so far to be honest.

Did you measure the tires real width on those rims? Those 50 RS should be like 52mm od wide rims. Since thunder burts are undersized they also measure around 52mm when installed on narrower rims 25mm internal. But yeah it's a bummer it's not real 50mm that would clear Burts on narrow rims.

I will try to measure it. I don't have one of those electronic tools to measure it exactly. I will do my best.

[Igital96]

Can confirm that they measure around 52mm (Vittoria airliner gravel + 30 internal width wheel). Maybe if my wheels were 25mm internal width they would fit with a bit more of room but I think it wouldnt make much difference. Tire clearance is still very tight for a 50mm. Other than that bike is great. I am enjoying it more and more every ride I do.
