Hello,

I have the Giant SLR 2 36 mm (disc - tubeless) and I want to upgrade it. I found two models :
- Elite edge 40 mm
- ICAN Aero 40

Do you have a preference or advice ? Or will you recommend another model for around 700 USD ?

What torque are you guys using on the seat clamp?

6,4 N.m  in order to avoid slipping.

What did you use to hold the Di2 battery in the seatpost?

I use this one and it fits in the seat tube.

Hello,

I'm considering changing my Hygge Model S handlebar to a carbon handlebar with aerobar.  I spotted this one :

What do you think ? Particularly in terms of strength because I had read that carbon handlebars had to be reinforced with resin or fiber to avoid breaking above aerobar.

Headset assembly:

I received the headset unit (pic headset_assembly_label.png) with cone A, but unfortunately, part B is missing. The problem is that cone A is not flexible. While the outer conical surface (blue) fits snugly into the inner bearing ring, the inner surface (green) lacks a positively interlocking connection with the steerer tube. An additional clamping ring is missing here, which could possibly press A and steerer tube together. Or cone A should be designed to be flexible to clamp itself onto the steerer tube due to its conical shape and the force from above.
I am not sure how cone B is designed, but if it is flexible, this might be the solution. A flexible cone is 'advertised' on hygge-bikes.com.
Another example of a flexible topcap:

It's frustrating that such small details were messed up. Play in the headset (on a new bike) sucks! Luckily this should be easily fixable with another top-cap/cone. Top bearing and steerer are standard, but will the interfacing to the spacer dovetails (or if spacer are swapped too, to the stem) then fit?

Here is my part. It is the hygge_bikes_com of your picture.

Here is a complete review of the bike: Size M (I am 178 cm tall)
- Handlebar 380x90
- Shimano Di2 groupset
-Wheels : Hygge Shun 40mm
- Saddle: Hygge too

The assembly went perfectly. I didn't encounter any problems.

First ride : I did a 105 km ride. My previous bike was an ICAN A22 and I definitely prefer the Hygge. The geometry of the bike suits me perfectly and I find it much more comfortable and stiff at the same time. Furthermore, the color of the frame is magnificent. The bike controls very well on descents and responds very well on climbs and restarts and is very fast.

I had no problem with the saddle slipping (I had used carbon paste) with a tightening of 5.5 N.m. My saddle is also Hygge and I find it perfect for me too.

In summary, I absolutely do not regret having sold my ICAN A22 for Hygge. I find it better in every way and the contact with the manufacturer is exceptional. They answered all my questions. In short, I highly recommend it.

I will post pictures in another post.

I just received the frame. I will update regularly and debrief when it is assembled.

The package is well packaged and the setting and equipment are great.

For now, everything is perfect. I also ordered the wheels which were in the same package as the frame.

I am attaching some photos and the weight of the equipment in size M.

Communication with Hygge is perfect. They are very responsive and attentive.

Is the maximum torque written on all screws (seat post, stem, etc.) ?

I will put some blue thread lock on the bolt and carbon paste on the seat post to see if I will have the same problem.
