Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame I've ordered one of these framesets to build up with LTwoo electronic 12 speed as my second road disc brake bike. Currently says has been shipped.  Once received I'll post about how it looks and critical areas such as steerer, bottom bracket and derailleur hanger.

I didn't think much about warranty as not sure on how much anything from Ali express would be honoured.

I'll be able to compare this against my current model Orbea Orca aero di2, and my older BH G6 and Orbea Orca both rim brake.

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame A few I have taken of brake mount area and frame.

Ah indeed I have had seatpost issues, I wanted to put that in the original post but forgot!

So yeah, I had the seatpost disappear into the frame twice very early on.  How I fixed it is I sanded all sides of the clamp and applied grip paste but I think the thing that got this sorted was I applied loctite to the clamping bolt and then tightened it to 10Nm.  I’ve had over 100 trouble free Km since then.  I think the issue is the bolt just loosens up,  with the loctite I haven’t seen the problem again.  I fed this back to Hygge and they actually have a new clamp design (picture attached), I'm not convinced that it will fix the issue as the new clamp adds a new grip to the side that grips the seat post, I’m sure it will help some but I think the loctite is the one.  I have told them I recommend having a captive nyloc nut on the underside, this would alleviate the issue.

And yeah, it’s a lovely bike - I’m really happy with it so far and looking forward to spending more time with it.

Have you had any further issues with the seat post? I saw you said you went to 10nn, however someone in a comment on the Henry Chung YouTube review commented they did theirs to 6.5nm and it cracked the frame.  He hasn't said how it ended up with Hygge in terms of any replacement.

Oh man, watching that installation video is pretty good!

Weirdly, I didn't get a sleeve to help mount the battery in the seat tube. *shrug* guess I'll just wrap some electrical tape to get it to stick?

No I just used some tape and packing foam my bike came in. Have done similar on other Shimano batteries in the past and it works fine.

What chargers you guys use? I know the charging cables are included but I am worried about the power supply or if I just plug it in with phone charger it might die or something...

I have just used standard phone charger with USB input.

Fork rigidity test:

For the sheer joy of testing and its simplicity, I decided to apply lateral force to the fork arms and measure the resulting deflection. While this test may not directly correlate with real-world scenarios it does provide a general insight into its rigidity. (A fork is primarily designed to withstand vertical forces, as well as forces opposing the direction of travel :D, in reality it is reinforced by the wheel's axle.)

I compared the deflection measurements to those of a 2021 KTM Revelator Alto fork:
KTM: 101.16 -> 98.20mm (3%)
HYGGE: 98.50mm -> 89.56mm (9%)

Indeed, the significant difference in deflection (3 times, that's a huge difference!!) measurements between the two forks raises valid concerns about the safety and overall performance of the fork.

That's really interesting. My 2013 Orbea Orca has about 30mm of flex in the same way you have demonstrated. I have done over 30,000km on this with no problem whatsoever.  I'm not sure what the concern is when any flex is limited as there is a wheel axle limiting any movement.

My real concern with any cheaper frame is the steerer tube not braking or cracking.

What is the weight difference between the two forks you compared?

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame I've finally finished my build but yet to test as I'm still a few weeks away from getting back on the road from my shoulder surgery. Still need to source some wheels so I just used my zipps from my Orbea Orca aero to finish the set up.

In all was a pretty simple build, electric shifting so only disc brake cables to route (we'll see on how long they last). With the zipps, magene powermeter, pedals and everything else weight is 7.7kg.

Hopefully I will have the same feedback as others on here.

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame First ride today.  First impressions are positive.

The frame is stiff but with 28mm tyres it rides really well, much better than I anticipated coming from an Orbea Orca aero. I haven't had any seat post slippage and no other issues whatsoever but I only did 20km.  My main concern is the crappy head tube spacers and the head tube remaining tight given they are only plastic so we will see how that goes after some decent mileage.

I'm built up with LTwoo electronic 12 speed. Shifting was good and braking performance seems good too.

Looking forward to seeing how it goes on longer rides.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets I've just spent 6 days riding out to watch each stage of the Tour Down Under with my full AliExpress build, including er9 12 speed set up. 600km and 7000m of climbing and it didn't miss a beat. Still no rides in the wet but given other reported issues I added silicone around where the cables plug in to enhance the waterproofing.

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame I have just finished 600km and 7000m of climbing over 6 days on my frame riding to watch the Tour Down Under stages on some pretty poor road surfaces. So far the frame has performed above expectations.
