Mondice has confirmed that carbon assembly paste should not be used on this part.

Without carbon paste, I can reach the required torque (1.5–2 Nm), but the expander lifts slightly when I tighten the top cap.

I definitely do **not recommend the AliExpress expander**. In my case, it’s completely useless.

I had the same issue, what torque are you using to tighten the expander plug? I tried carbon paste, but I feel like it made it even worse, than i cleaned it and it seems fine now.

My build is finally done. 

Assembly went quite smooth. Brake mounts wasn't finished well and paint on the furry in this place was a bit chipped. I gave up with XG4 calipers as they barely worked on the front and didn't work at all in the rear no matter how long I bled them.

Only issue I have now that the storage cover fel off two times during a ride with a bottle and chipped the paint 🫤. I don't know what going on with it. I taped it for a now. Does anybody have same issue?

Spec:
FM 336 size L
CSC wheels 29int/34ext 45 mm deep
Panaracer Gravelking ZX 50 mm front / 45 mm rear
Shimano 105 shifters and brake calipers
Shimano GRX RX822
Shimano SLX 7100 cassette 10-51
Kocevlo bar and stem combo
Mixed saddle
Total weight 9kg

(Flat pedals are temporary. I took for a ride with my son as he was racing today)

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.

Do you think you have space for clip on aerobars on these bars?

There is approx 1 cm on each side of the stem, so not whole lot of space  :-\

No issue with the magnet, today I rode with 0.75L bottle and made its job. Way was a bumpy one, actually some water went oout due to vibration but it worked.

I wanted to ask you which handlebar and stem have you mounted. I am thinking in building a second one for my wife and it seems to be a good choice. Thanks

Thanks, stem is https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGffLj8, the handlebar is https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJgx8hG
One small issue with the stem is, that there is relatively small amount of spacers included.

Are you having issues with the storage cover on both frames? A couple of weeks ago I received a video of the painted frame, with the cover, but a day or two later I was told that the storage cover was loose and the entire frame had to be made and painted again.

Yes on both frames, I wouldn't say it is loose, it doesnt rattle and without bottle it is all good. I just can't really imagine that weak magnet holding a water bottle securely.

Two possible solutions, that i came up with are having a velcro strap over the cover, or drilling a hole into the cover and making some kind of mechanical lock mechanism that locks it in place from inside.

Hey guys, just finished two builds on this frame, both are size M, weight is just below 9 kg with pedals, really happy with it.

I just have a small issue with the magnetic downtube storage cover, as it comes off really easily, it came off with 0,5 l bottle when hitting a small bump at moderate speed. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

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.

Hi guys, does anybody have some idea about the max possible size chainring? I would like to fit 46t 1x, Jack said, that 46t chainring fits, but I don't know if I can really believe him. Cheers!
