Quote from: 2wheeledbarbie on October 30, 2026, 08:15:31 PMjust ordered the 65mm snakeskins 20H black hubs no decals. 553 via paypal. 

Is that USD and with shipping and taxes prepaid (DDP)? I'm very interested in these wheels also but I'm quoted 733 USD with DDP shipping.

Quote from: j3reun on October 21, 2026, 04:31:27 AMI just got the two spacers from bike24. Did you cut it to a C shape with a knipex tool? And the small hole drilled or just also 'cut away ' a small piece of material? The material is quite thin so easy to work with I guess.

Yes exactly, I just used a small plier to do the cuts. The small hole I just did with the plier too, it's a little rough but works  :)

Quote from: L2R on October 22, 2026, 12:54:53 AMI think I'll build up the FM376 as well.

Initially, I was considering the Meinier GRVL 15 frame, but when I asked, they told me they couldn't offer a two-tone paint job. Besides, I think the FM376 frame looks even better.

@sbixify , did Mondince create the design based on your specifications, or how did the process work? I'm planning a very similar design, though instead of silver, I'm thinking of using either Pantone 226 C pink or something like a chameleon purple.

Yes, I used a photo of the frame with the paint design I wanted and sent to Jack. It came out exactly as what I sent them. I just specified silver metallic gloss for the paint, but I'm sure they can match your Pantone choice. All the decals I designed myself and had a guy in Hungary print and ship to me.

Quote from: tomkeeb on October 18, 2026, 08:53:14 PMNice looking build! How tall are the spacers below your integrated bar/stem? I also have a size L FM376 and was concerned it would look like a tower with any more than 30mm of spacers, but yours seems not to.

Thanks  :)  I've got 30 mm of spacers on it right now. I'm also a sucker for slammed stems, but this is as low as I can go unfortunately. I also think it looks decent as it is, but my next upgrade will probably be the XMCS GR riser bar to get rid of the spacers.

Quote from: chrtrx on October 19, 2026, 01:52:22 PMQuestion: Magene PES P515 on the FM376 with SRAM 13-speed XPLR 1x?

Hi all,

I'm building up a Mondince FM376 (size XL, T47 BB, UDH) with a SRAM Rival/Force XPLR AXS 13-speed 1x drivetrain and I'm considering the Magene PES P515 power meter crankset. SRAM specs a 47.5 mm chainline for XPLR, while Magene lists 44.25 mm for the P515 (24 mm spindle, 110 BCD 4-bolt spider). I also heard that a standard SRAM road crank with a 46T ring rubs against the frame on this bike.

Has anyone run the Magene PES P515 (or TEO P515) with a SRAM XPLR 13-speed drivetrain, ideally on the FM376? I'd love to know:

1) Which 1x ring did you use (brand, tooth count, offset) and which chain?

2) What chainline did you measure, and did you need spacers or an offset ring to get close to 47.5 mm?

3) Which 24 mm T47 bottom bracket did you use? Magene asks for a total shell width of 90.5-92 mm after installation. Did that fit the FM376 without issues?

4) Any clearance problems between the ring or chain and the chainstay or crank arm?

5) How does it shift in the smallest and biggest cogs? Any noise or rubbing?

Photos of the drive side would be great. Thanks a lot!

If you look on last page, I have some pictures of my build. I'm using the Magene TEO power meter with a Pass Quest 46t AXS chainring with zero offset. To get the right chainline, I put on a 3 mm DUB spacer on the drive side. I've put on a SRAM DUB T47 85.5 mm bottom bracket. I've only had 1,5 proper rides on it, but I've not noticed any problems in shifting in either end of the cassette. I also have plenty of clearance between chainstay and chainring - I would say you could probably fit a 50t from the looks of it.

Word of caution: if you order from Pass Quest, do it from Aliexpress. They've only managed to get one of three orders right for me and their customer support when buying from their website didn't really care I got the wrong item (no solution found). I had the same problem after buying through Ali so I opened a dispute and had my money back right away.

I managed to get some more shots of my bike this weekend. It's an absolute rocket on all surfaces and I'm very happy with it so far. Weighed it the other day, 9 kg (size L) with everything attached. I did have some annoying issues with the caliper interface on the rear not being properly faced and had to add two shims on the inside to get it aligned properly. Will have to go to a bike shop to get it faced eventually.

Ah thanks for clearing that up. So you don't use a rubber sealing ring at all between the compression ring > shims > 10 mm cone spacer?  That's what I'm trying and where I don't get it flush. I made a picture of the seal in one of my posts here above.

Guess I'll order the thin shims and try without the rubber seal and just use some grease to try to seal it best possible

Thanks for your efforts 🙏

No, I don't use the rubber sealing. I haven't had one on my previous bikes and as I understand, it's just a rough barrier to avoid some mud and fluids. I hope you figure things out  :)

Looks great. How did you end up with that logo? I was told they only do their classic logo with more rounded letters. That looks pretty clean I wonder if I could still change to that logo.

I did the logo and had it printed locally and applied myself. If you want, I can share the print file - send me a DM :)  If anyone is interested, I also have some leftover print (logo, logotype, FM376 and some artwork) in white, dark blue and a few other sizes I didn't use in silver and dark grey that I can ship for a fair price.

Thanks big-time for helping me out. Seems doable but are you sure the dustcover came with the Lexon Unox handlebar?  I only have one rubber ring and that one came with the FM376 headset. I try to reuse it and by the looks of it it and your description 'small knob' could be the same. Also on the Ryet and Lexon websites I don't find any dust covers

Okay, I just checked what came with the Lexon bars. When I wrote dust cap, I meant what they refer to as "10 mm Cone Spacer for Full Inner Cable". Sorry for the confusion. The cone spacer has a small knob on the bottom that fits into a small slot in the compression ring. I played a little around with it to get the best setup and I believe I actually ended up using a FSA compression ring I had laying around from a FSA No. 55R headset. From what Mondince provided, I only used the red and black bearing and the washer.

Your bike turned out awesome! Would you mind to share more detailed shots from your build? Much appreciated :)

Thanks, appreciate it! I hope to go out for a spin in the weekend and will take some more pics :)

Can you tell me from what material and how you made the shims? Today my alluminium washer arrived after jack sent it because it wasnt in the box. Now I put the red bearing below without Allu washer and the black one on top of a washer. If I put the c shaped black compression ring in. It almost seems to fit snug but not as tight as in your picture. I think because of the dust cover needs some adjustments/ modification. Hope you don't mind sharing

I used two of these micro spacers (0.25 and not 0.15 as I mentioned before): https://www.bike24.com/p2114224.html?origin=SRP

I simply cut them to match the c-shape of the compression ring then also cut material away to make the small knob on the dust cover go through the spacers and into the hole in the compression ring. The order of my assembly is: washer, bearing, compression ring, 2 x micro spacers and dust cover. Dust cover and compression ring were both from the Lexon handlebar.

Looks great! In terms of cockpit I'm gonna use the same setup. (Is this a Lexon handlebar?)
Can you give me some guidance in terms of which bearing to place where and where to use the washer yes or no?

Yes, it's the Lexon Unox. I used the video guide from Jack and if I remember correctly, it was the red bearing at the bottom and washer and black bearing at the top. I had to use two 0,15 mm shims on top of the compression ring to get the dust cover to sit just above the frame and not touch it. I cut the shims in a c-shape to make room for the brake cables and a small cut to get the small peg in the dust cover to pass through and into the cavity of the compression ring.

Finally received my frame last week (ordered Aug 29th, so 5-6 weeks in total from order to delivery). It's come out really awesome! It feels a step or two above my old Velobuild Aero Grav in terms of quality. Can't say much about ride quality yet, but it feels really great from first impressions. Size L, silver gloss to UD raw carbon fade paint.

I just received a video of my frame ready from the paint shop. It looks exactly as I specified, so I'm really happy with the paint job based on the video. Should be shipped in three days time. I already received my decals (my own interpretation of the Mondince logo), so it should turn out pretty nice!

Has anyone tried to use the frame with a road crankset for example a magene pes powermeter with a 1x chainring?

I plan on doing exactly this. Will be swapping over my PES515 crankset with 46T chainring from my Velobuild Aero Grav. I'm running a Rival 13 speed groupset.

My frame is currently in process of being painted so hopefully it will get shipped anytime soon.

I just ordered this frame as well - good and fast communication with Mondince. Should be finished in 18 days and shipped. I come from the Velobuild Aero Grav and are looking for a frame with higher stack and internal storage and this frame fits those two so I'm very excited to test it out. I ordered glossy silver to UD carbon fade paint (top to bottom) similar to the SEKA Spear RDC frame.

What are you planning for the handlebars? I'm looking at the Lexon Unox gravel handlebar but still undecided.

hi

Any ideas for screws on AliExpress to replace the ones on the frame? Thanks

I got these ones in black (10 mm). They seem to be decent quality and holding up fine so far. I think I need 3-4 more to replace all the bolts on the frame, so I kept the original ones to secure the bottle cages.
