Nice! So if I understand correctly - each cable goes through a hole in C ring?
The cables will go through the section that you have circled in the picture and that part will be facing forward. The other holes are to make the ring lighter and more flexible so it can deform easily and grip the steerer better. I would go around the whole ring with some fine sandpaper as I can see a lot of burrs around all of the edges.

Thanks mate! I get it now. It will be my first fully internally routed road bike so I'm not familiar with some technical details. Thanks to the forums like this one and people like you it is always easier. My frame is on the way and should arrive in a few days hopefully - so excited!

Since you will have the new EPS molded frame, can you please make sure to take pictures of the internals of the frame and share them with us? Thanks a lot!!!

Good point, weights too as probably that will make more difference with EPS molding. For reference, mine were frame size S with all hardware mounted (both hangers and thru axle) 1060g, fork with thru axle attached 386g uncut, seatpost with saddle clamp 200g uncut.

I forgot to take pictures of the headtube before mocking the frame up on some old wheels, but here's a pic of the bottom bracket.

Help! Just got the EPS frame. Two questions
1) Anyone use a washer for fixing bolt C and C2 that attached rear disc brake to frame? Frame width is ~20mm and the shimano bolts that came with groupset are for 25mm frame.

2) Looks like the threading on the fork for the front disc brake is either threaded or not not machined well. Any solutions? would you use tapping oil?

1) You can use washer but I recommand to buy the right length screw.

Edit : Added picture.

Looks like you have butyl tubes. If you buy TPU tubes on aliX, should cost you <10usd for a pair, and that should save you 5-7W, something like that, at every moment you're out riding. Which is a lot.
It's quantified on bicycle rolling resistance website if you want to have a look.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

It's been 4 years since the wheels in the picture have been on the road. I just put them on the Hygge for mock up purposes.

I have a set of Light Bicycle AR36 wheels with RideNow TPU tubes on my current bike that I will use on the Hygge until I can get some new deeper wheels.

I ordered my 105 Di2 groupset yesterday, so hopefully I can start building the bike up next week.

Update:
1. Found the screws. Solved the problem.
2. Tapping Oil works!

Does anybody know which direct mount RD hanger is compatible with the frame? I have the urge to change to direct mount for no particular reason.

Hi friends!

Regarding the new EPS frame and the look of the internals, here's the new video on YT from Henry Chung so check it out! https://youtu.be/KIHfiQcE2E0?si=rsEJm7-5etj-N1Tv

I'm still restlessly waiting for my frame as it's been in delivery for 2 weeks now to EU...

Cheers!
