Mondince FM336/326 Gravel Build questions.
Anyone built up a Mondince FM336 or FM326? About to pull the trigger and had a few questions:
-
How do the brake hoses route — through the stem or directly into the head tube? Can I use a standard stem or do I need an integrated cockpit?
-
How's the in-frame storage actually work in practice? Seen mixed reviews on other Chinese frames where bottle cages block the access.
-
Any issues with bolt quality (rounding, non-standard sizes)?
-
How's the paint holding up after a few months of gravel riding?
-
T47 BB — any creaking or fitment issues with SRAM DUB?
-
For those on the FM336 in Size S — does the geometry feel as racy as the numbers suggest, or is it more relaxed in practice?
Building a 1x SRAM AXS gravel bike, 170cm / 76cm inseam. Any tips or things you wish you'd known before the build would be appreciated. Cheers!
