Mondince FM336

[MF_one]

Hey I received my frame today, but I do not have you 3 and 4 spacer.
Mine are totally different, even the compression ring, both are in aluminium and they have pin on top, so i can only fit the mondince handlebar with hole matching the pin. 

Maybe Jack forgot something for my headset and seal.

He forgot to send me the trap door of the fram 

That is a bit weird because 3 and 4 are from Mondince. Did they change what they deliver as headset kit now?
Just to clarify I did not order the spacer kit with them since I did not order the Mondince handlebar

Assembly in progress. But I run some hiccups. I installed XG 4 pistons caliper with 160 mm discs front and rear. Looks like they need to be on 140 adapter front and no adapter at rear. But still I can't say up then straight without rubbing. Usually my toopre tool was enough but not here. This is my first 4 pistons caliper so maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?

Hi,
The issue is with your front brake setup: your flatmount adapter is installed upside down!
These front fork adapters are asymmetrical because they act as reversible plates to switch between 140 mm and 160 mm rotors. Since you are running 160 mm discs, you need to rotate the adapter by 180 degrees. Usually, there is a marking like "160 UP" with an arrow on the plate—that arrow must point upwards.
In its current position, the caliper sits at the completely wrong angle and distance from the rotor. That is exactly why you can't get it aligned without rubbing, even with your alignment tool.

I had it on 160 up and the caliper seats too high over the disc brake. I think this frame is 160/160 from the design.

For me the 160 up adapter is also not compatible with a 160 disc, was also planning to flip the adapter and check how that fits.

In this specific case, flipping it to the "140" position is actually the correct workaround to keep the spacing at 160 mm!

I have xg4 and they are a pain to bleed and set up. Make sure all the pistons are moving evenly. I've had some pistons to either be too slow to move or sometimes would not retract far enough. If you have lazy pistons, you can try to "activate" them like in this magura video:
or they might need another bleed.
I also found that the gap between the pads on zrace calipers both 2 and 4 piston is way to narrow so they almost always rub.

Hi guys, I have some doubt, what is the standard for the hub in this frame ? boost ? thanks

FM336 has normal road standart, 12x100 at the front and 12x142 at the rear.

That's my first thought when I looked for a reason. Looks like tight fit. They're two ports on each caliper. Do you need thru both?

thanks, at least the rep from serenade saw my mistake before sending me boost wheelset

I tried to bleed through both and didn't notice any difference. The rule of thumb I have is to use the one that's closer to the ground when I bleed but have no idea if it's correct.
I also found that bleeding with 2 syringes gives better results than a syringe with a funnel

Finally the first picture under the heat wave. Very happy with the first feelings.
8,3Kg without pedals

Only finding is a screw on the top tube that is not screwing properly. Rest works pretty well

looking ace! i have the same seat post - how on earth do you put it together? i took the rails off to mount my saddle and the pieces came apart and i can't figure out what they are supposed to be like. also how do you secure the seat post in the frame? is it that silver piece pushing against the seat post?

[Lotnik]

After lurking on here for a few weeks. I spoke with Jack today and pulled the trigger on a fm326. I can’t wait to start this build. AI mockup of the paint job I designed, Kelly Green/Racing Green and Cream. 🤙🏽

Wrong thread mate 326 is under Mondice aero gravel thread

yes, you should use this silver plate
