Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Finally done with my build and found some time to ride it. I need some more miles on it to gather some more thoughts and come to a conclusion, but here's some initial thoughts.
It's a nice bike, lighter than my steel bike but not quite as snappy. It doesn't feel as fast, but Strava says speed is more or less the same. It feels like a monster truck in comparison. I definitely notice the long chainstays and overall wheelbase.
Will be swapping out the stem for something a bit longer for sure, as well as lowering the stack height by 10-20mm.

Anyone using Tailfin Bags on their 54 frame? Currently looking for upgrading my bikepacking setup using this frame, but I'm unsure which bags - in particular frame and top tube bag - would be the best fit. Thanks in advance!
I have bought tailfin half frame bag 3L and top tube bag 1.1L

Re: Mondince FM336 First ride today!
Am going to be using this as my road bike with big tyres and flat greenway/canal bank/flat hardpack long distance stuff.
I surprised at how it held speed and the comfort.It zipps along nicely.
Certainly on a par with a lot of road bikes I have ridden.
The build went pretty much ok.
Slight problem with the alignment of the front caliper but got it sorted.
Paint is absolutley superb. Zero overspray and no issues with bearings being seated.

Set up
1x with a 48 front ring and a ZTTO 11-44 13 speed cassette.
KMC x12 chain
Wheeltop gravel groupset
LEESE Carbon crank
FForward wheels with DT Swiss 240s hubs with Challenge Strada 30mm tyres.

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel Build's finished. Already got around 300 km on the bike. After trying friend's FM316 Size M I opted for size L and bought extra FM336 fork to compensate for the quirks I did not like steering-wise.
- 2.1 Thunderburts measured as 54 mm on super wide Tagoola wheels fit without issues in moderate mud, although sensitive to the rear wheel alignment. The fork can clean 2.4 easily. For very muddy conditions I would put 50mm on the back.
- Managed to get fit right from the first try - the bike welcomes you into aero tuck which is very easy to maintain thanks to quite high stack and long reach. Still experimenting with lever position and spacers, though.
- It is also very forgiving on rough terrain and steep descends. Bike handles very well and quite stable over single track ruts and eroded soil. Coming from pure bred CX bike where you may be thrown over the handlebars on steep descends it is night and day difference in offroad confidence. The low speed steering is also well preserved and I don't feel like I have to overcompensate in sand or tight turns. Seems like extra 5mm rake from FM336 fork really helps.
- On the road it is VERY fast. Cant compare objectively, as I don't have a power meter on the gravel bike, but for perceived RPE and HR in Z2 it is only 1-2,5 kph slower than my very fast road bike on my usual flat routes even without adjusting pressure on MTB tires.
- 48T chainrings fits without issues. Considering the available space, one could probably fit 52T and convert it into the progressive fit road bike
- It is stiff enough. Apart from squeaky tires I don't feel excessive flex in BB or fork
- The internal storage compartment DOES NOT rattle. On the other hand, friend's storage is noisy so he has to ducktape it. Maybe they changed something in construction, but I have no complaints so far. It is very small, though - no fit for electric pump, but just fine for dynaplug, spare tube and other tiny bits and pieces.

So far it is amazing. I genuinely like pretty much everything and think this is very successful frame, especially if you want to try something something else than another beaten up gravel bike which is the same as the others.

I'm currently torn between the FM336 and the FM376. I like the geo of the 376 a tad more and I think the placement of the storage compartment is super smart.

I run 40 mm Schwalbe G-One R on Elitewheels ENT Gravel (25 mm internal) though, and now I wonder if such "narrow" tires would look completely off on a frame that's designed for massive 57 mm tires. 😅

Does anyone have pictures with 40–45 mm tires on an FM376? Photos from the geometry twins SP Cycle G028 / Meinier GRL15 would help too.


Here you go with 33mm wam Pzero’s
