Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Mondince FM336

Hi all,

I am planning to improve a bit the headset kit from what it comes from manufacturer.
Can someone maybe help me with that?

Specs are:
Headtube:   1-1/2" Upper and Lower (Integrated); 52mm ID, 56mm OD
Bearing Size:   52mm OD, 40mm ID Upper And Lower; 7mm Height Upper, 7mm Height Lower

I'm also planning to build a bike with this frame, but I'm a bit confused about the headset specification, too.

Does Mondince mean that "1-1/2" Upper and Lower" refers to the headset bearing size, while the fork steerer is still the standard tapered 1-1/8" to 1-1/2" (28.6 mm upper / 40 mm lower)?

My main question is about stem compatibility. I'd like to use a Syncros RR 2.0 stem (or possibly another integrated stem/cockpit). Does anyone know if the SYNCROS IS52/31.8 – IS52/42 headset is compatible with this frame? https://www.syncros.com/de/de/product/syncros-is52-31-8---is52-42-headset?article=2882490001222

Has anyone here used the Mondince integrated stem? If so, how is the quality? Are there any issues with cable routing or bearing preload?

Also, what are the key specifications I need to check when choosing a compatible stem or cockpit?
- Top cover with an outer diameter of 56 mm?
- Bearing dimensions (IS52)?
- Compression ring?
- Anything else?

Thanks in advance!
