Re: Mondince FM336
46T fits. Probably more with dub wide. Jacks never lied to me from what it’s worth. Thanks, I didn't mean like purposefully lying, but more like, not really checking. May 26, 2026, 08:00:41 AM |

Re: Mondince FM336
It is tight but fits, I think I should be able to fit a 50mm on my side as well. You mentioned there is clearance for 5mm on each side, its seems to bit a bit less, maybe the perspective of the picture fake it a bit?. Did you mentioned once you have measured it at around 52mm total width? That would give a total physical clearance of 62mm, which I believe is a lot and not representing the reality. I trust on you anyway but I will double check with my frame before ordering the tyres. Thanks a lot May 26, 2026, 02:22:34 PM |

Re: Mondince FM336
I also attached the measurement of inner fork width and rear clearance in frame. Not super accurate measurements, but I hope it helps May 28, 2026, 04:45:48 PM |

Re: Mondince FM336
++++++ REVIEW TIME  ++++++USED PARTS: - Mondince FM336 with custom Paint Job - Ryet 3D Printed saddle - Elitewheels SLR Gravel (god they are loud! :-D) - TPU Tubes - Setback Saddle by mondince - Sunshine Cassette 12 Speed 11-46T - Senicx T47 BB - Senicx PR3 Gravel Crankset 170mm crankarm, 40T Chainring - Kocevlo X01 Handlebar - Ltwoo egr electronic groupset (Bought used) - Shimano 160mm Discs COSTS Overall I paid around ~2000€ of which are only 1700€ parts for the bike (like the frame, handlebar etc.) and 235€ materials like mineral oil and tools and other stuff. thats kind of a bargain for a bike like that. I currently weighs about 9kg which is kind of good for a gravel bike i think - what do you think? ORDER AND DELIVERY - Ordered on 12th May 2026 via Mail - Delivered 19th June 2026 - They had some Issues on my order so it was delayed. When Jack told me the package is sent it took roughly 10 Days to arrive in Germany - Package was well secured and no damage at all. I wish they had put some parts descriptions or even a manual in there as there were parts in the package which I dont know what to do with them but so far everything was right and when I built up the bike my questions about some parts answered itself. Rating: 8/10 very well experience. Jack responded quick. Delivery was quick but with the delays in my order I cant give 10/10 UNBOXING AND BUILD Unboxed everything and the paint job was exactly as ordered by me. Also the frame was very well manufactured: I saw no sharp ends anywhere or problems with the paintjob. As a first time builder it took me about 2-3 days to build the whole thing. I think thats fine. Only issue I ran into were the mounting brackets for the brakes. I use 160mm Discs front and rear. When I mounted the calipers with the 160 Ltwoo adapter the brakes were only slightly touching the discs. I showed it to a local bike mechanic and he also said "that looks wrong - try another adapter). I then used the 140mm adapter and thats it. So I dont know what thats about but It works now. Rating 9/10 RIDING EXPERIENCE Building the bike I decided to first try out road tyres and took it up a local hill. Performed pretty well. No rattling, no shaking. Just a fun bike to ride. A week later I went on a tougher Gravel route together with a friend of mine and hell yeah that was fun! Had some schwalbe tyres with only 45mm on it but the bike performed outstandingly well! Fast ascending on forest tracks, lot of stability on "single-trails" descending and a lot of speed too. I still have some Issues with my hands as I think the Ltwoo brifters are kind of small and maybe my handlebar is also a bit too short. But nothing I cant fix. New parts are already ordered and will be delivered today. So the only 3 things I miss a little bit: 1) a slightly lighter gear for climbing (maybe trying a 48T or even 50T Cassette? Experiences? 2) a bit more top speed when descending roads (had 60 km/h max which is a bit low) 3) a bit wider brifters of the ltwoo as I think my hands are a bit too large ( any ideas how to fix it?) Rating 10/10 Attached some pictures with road tyres and gravel tyres aswell as standard and setback seatpost. Glad I discovered this forum. I never thougt I would be able to build up my own bike with kind of high end parts on a budget. But the best thing: I have learnt a LOT and the next project will come soon: Road bike for my first race and triathlon ( suggestions? thought about the prebuilt seraph tt-x42 or tt-x71 or tt-r18) July 09, 2026, 04:21:35 AM |

Re: Mondince FM336
My build is finally done. Build looks great, I had the same issue with the cover on both of my frames. You just have to push on it in the top area, when it is set in place by the magnet, until you feel a click and then it holds very well. July 12, 2026, 01:57:31 AM |

Re: Mondince FM336
I received my frame last week from https://light-cycling.com/shop/gravel-bike-frame/lightcycling-pace-gf06/. Ordered and paid on june 25th, so around 4 weeks between ordering and delivered. I paired it with their own aero road handlebars instead of the gravel, I don’t really like the flare and will be using it primarily as an all-road bike anyway. They were very responsive and helpful through whatsapp and made sure they understood what I ordered and they updated me along the process with photos and a video. Packaged well in a cardboard box and lots of foam. All accessories were packaged in ziplock bags. Went for Pantone 2645C which is some kind of violet. Turned out pretty accurate. Painting is very good, very well finished, bottom bracket and mounting points look very clean so I expect no big problems when building it up. Had some minor issue due to the compression ring and bearing cap that stacked too high, which meant there was too big of a gap between bearing cap and frame. Solved it with a dremel and a little patience, now it's perfect. They told me they will look into it and solve it for future orders so no DIY will be needed  Will build it up with Force XPLR, Zen carbon wheels (road wheels only for now) and will probably add some adhesive vinyl to customize it. I'll post again when done. July 26, 2026, 04:25:31 AM |
