Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel There is a new frameset at mondince, FM336.

https://mondincecycle.com/product/2026-toray-t800-and-t1000-high-stiffness-storage-space-full-carbon-gravel-bike-frame-fm336

Biggest change seems to be new geometry, head tube steeper at around 71.5 depending on frame size. As well different, magnetic storage box cover.

Reach and stack seems to be significantly shorter as well.

Placing your bottles under your downtube is the worst idea when racing on "dirty" farmer roads (in the dry or the mud). The risk of bacteria intake is huge by doing that . In addition, with the aero benefit of using hydration bladders, the need for packing more than 2L on your frame becomes obsolete in 99% of the races.

I'd say that depends on the length of the race. Under downtube storage can be very useful for tools and spare parts. How aero it is, that's on another page oc.

Here you go;


A bike with mounts included for whatever you want to bolt to it is already available.
Maybe keep this one for a fast gravel frame with plenty of tyre clearance. 🤷‍♂️

Plenty of us bikepacking, ultraracing, or even just riding through winter benefit from the extra storage capacity. You add maybe 40g to an already 1000g+ frame by including some hidden fender mounts with an optional seat-stay bridge, ~15-20g for under downtube bolts. They're unnoticeable if unneeded and a massive increase to utility for those of us who do.

Re: XMCS: 2026 Aero Gravel bike As long as a frame isn't really optimised aerodynamically by solid CFD and/or aero testing, I'd call it an aero looking bike but not an aero bike. IMHO the term aero bike is used in a very inflationary way nowadays.

Is this the luxon gravel handlebar ? how do you like it ? I am not sure of the wide flare for my usage.

I will buy this frame very soon !

Yes, it's the Lexon Uno Gravel handlebar. 380mm at the hoods and 480mm at the drops - 80mm stem. I was a bit skeptical about such difference of width but honestly I like it. I makes me feel very safe going downhill. I have not tried multiple handlebars so I cannot tell you they are my favourite, but I like them so far to be honest.

Write to them and ask what's going on. Maybe make them aware that this forum exists and that what they're doing isn't working to their advantage and is losing credibility.

If they are doing this stuff, It's their own fault that they lose credibility and it's honestly deserved. It's not my job to tell them to be ethical. It should be a basic value of a company.

Hello guys I am ordering the frame.
And all the pieces for my build.

For the crankset I am going with sram red.

Should I go sram red classic or sram red wide?

I rather have the thinnest q factor but so the frame fit the classic?

Thanks

You can do both to be honest. Should not be a problem afaik. I ran the dub wide because there was only stock available with this interface. The SRAM Rival and Force are selling like candy. Crazy!

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

Hello  my frame should arrive in the coming days  :)

I want to order the last part, the disc brake. Did you guys had to use an adaptator to mount 160mm disc ? thanks

No adapter is necessary for 160 or 180cm brakes

thanks but i dont understand how is this possible ? if 160mm is native on the frame and fork then we need 20mm adapter for 180mm ?

I guess it depends on your brake caliper system. Most nowadays come with the ability to have both 160 and 180 mm rotors by flipping the bracket one direction for 160 mm and the other way for 180 mm.
