Mondince FM366 aero gravel bike with 57mm of tire clearance
Jack does it again. They are cranking out new designs. He just sent me a video of their new aero gravel frame with 57mm of tire clearance. He said it will be available in 10 days and is going to send me the geo a little later. When he does, I'll post it.

Re: Mondince FM356 61mm tire clearance
The bigger issue for me is the height. A ridiculous amount of stack. Unusable for me.To each their own, but I’d be surprised if even 5% of the people on this forum are actually looking for a really low-stack bike. I’m not even sure what a low stack is all that beneficial for anymore. It used to be considered the more aero option, but that doesn’t seem to be the case these days. Just look at modern TT bikes. A lot of them have 100+ mm of spacers under the aero bars because that’s where riders are finding the best mix of comfort, power, and aerodynamics. Looking through the FM336 build thread, it also seems like a lot of people are running quite a few spacers under the stem anyway. To me, that says many riders are trying to get to a taller front end regardless. This frame clears 61 mm tires, which is 2.4 inches. This bike was designed for adventure riding and long days in the saddle, not an ultra-aggressive race position. Personally, I like that they gave it a taller stack. It lets more people get the fit they want without stacking a bunch of spacers under the stem, and I think it ends up looking cleaner too. I’d actually love to see more bikes go in this direction because I think they match how most people really ride. July 07, 2026, 06:37:32 PM |
