Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel I don't know why Mondince recommends a separate stem and handlebar. Today I shortened the steerer tube and ran the brake lines through the frame and handlebar. I didn't encounter any problems.

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel I've finally finished the build (I still need to see how many spacers to use below the stem and do the final cut of the steerer):

SPcycle G026 green chameleon with the following components:
- Schwalbe G-One R and RX Pro (rear/front) 50 mm on 25 mm wheels. There is about 5-6 mm clearance on the chainstays (5 mm hex wrench clears it, 6 mm hex wrench rubs a bit).
- GRX 2x11 groupset, with RX812 rear derailleur + XT M8000 SGS cage mod to have a massive gear range: 48-31 and 11-46.

I've only ridden it in asphalt so far, but very pleased with it!

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel My bike came yesterday and I finished around 90% of the build.
Along with the frame I ordered a pair of 9velo gravel wheels which showed up today.
Front wheel is ready, but I am waiting on another 50mm RX-PRO for the rear - which is fine, since the weather is pretty bad and I cannot ride anyway.

Build went smooth, even the rear break cable got through on the first attempt without any issues. I added some cable padding to prevent any cluttering, but that's it.
I made a mistake on the front break adapter and mounted it for the wrong diameter - not realizing that you could run 180mm. Lucky as I am, I had enough cable to pull it down and mount it for 160mm :-)

The stock seat post was way too short to reach my saddle height, but I simply re-used the seat post from my old bike.
I opted against integrated handlebars until I can figure out my reach and stack dimensions, but for me it looks nice enough as it is.

Components I used:

Frame
Frame: Mondince FM326
Size: M
Fork: 420mm

Drivetrain & brakes
shift/brake levers: SRAM Rival AXS D1
brake system: SRAM Rival AXS D1 (160/160)
rear derailleur: SRAM GX AXS, 12 speed
bottom bracket: SRAM DUB Road Wide
crankset: SRAM Rival E1 Wide, Powermeter Spindle, Dub, 42T - 165mm
cassette: SRAM XG-1275, 10-52T
chain: Sram X01
pedals: Shimano XT M8120

Cockpit
headset: PRO Headset Integrated Cable Routing (I prefered this one to the stock option for the cable routing below the stem)
stem: DEDA Mud Peak - 80 mm +/-6º
bar: Newmen Advanced Gravel Bar 318 - 420mm ("liberated" from my spouse since she is running 360mm)
handlebar tape: SRAM Red handlebar tape (wasn't the plan, my preferred PRO Race Silicon ripped while unwrapping it)
Spacer: ZTTO blue alloy spacer (from Aliexpress)

Wheels
wheelset: 9Velo 2026 Gravel Disc GB series 24H/24H - 28mm inner width
valves: 9velo stock, but with schwalbe click valves (SCV)
tyres: Schwalbe G-One RX Pro, TLR, 50-622

Seating
saddle: PRO Stealth Performance
seat post: PRO LT 400mm 27,2mm/ 0mm offset

In case you need to order SRAM brake parts:
For the rear you need 32mm flatmount screws (SRAM part: 00.5318.005.002) and the standard flatmount adapter for 160mm (it should be part 00.5318.018.001 - but I had that already here)

Front: use the Flat Mount 0F/20F | 140/160 mm (part number: 00.5318.018.000) for the front - it includes all bolts.
For 160mm discs, you need to build it with the 140mm side because that give you the effective range for 160mm. That's because the fork can take up to 180mm rotors.
If you want to actually run 180mm rotors, you need to switch the adapter to 160mm.

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel Build almost finished, although I still need to tweak shifting and brakes a bit.

Coming from mostly riding XC full suspension bike (FM936) I can say that this bike truly feels great and does not sacrifice too much comfort. I have mostly ridden it fast so far so that also helps.

Size L matte pink frame was bought from SPCycle via Aliexpress to take advantage of January sales. Same for Tagoola XPLR wheelset, Elita One Master seatpost, Toseek TKR02 barstem. Drivetrain is a bit mix since I used already owned Shimano 105 di2 and read in https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=175217 that it works with 10-45 cassette. Coupled it with Force E1 crankset, KEOS 46t ring and ZRACE XG4 calipers due to wanting a bit more power and bling.

I am currently running Schwalbe R PRO 50mm which measures around 52.7mm on wide rims and this is really comfy and quite fast setup.

Some comments:
- I requested SPCycle to have fork without rivets, but they did not provide. Had to file exit for rear brake slightly and the painting inside internal storage will have to be adjusted, but otherwise it went smoothly
- Toseek barstem was very easy to route to and feels and looks really good. It's 380/120 but might be on slightly longer side.
- Shifting was ok on the stand initially, I adjusted the limit screws to improve it as the sound was slightly off in some middle gears and this end up making RD to not want to switch to biggest (easiest) cog on the cassette. Will need to work on this further, so far I have ridden it as 11sp 46x10-40
- Rear braking seems to lose pressure during the ride. It might be that I did not screw the calipers access bolt tightly enough and there was a bit leakage. To be confirmed.
- Disregard the position of right shifter, it was not torqued strongly enough and moved out of position during some rough patch

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel So yeah, build is finished, I’ll design stickers in a few days and I hope it’ll look awesome.
I previously asked about toptube bag and ordered rhinowalk. It fits perfectly with 4mm space to headset.
