Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
I haven't done much km's on the bike but have done a 90km (flat) ride sunday. The bike performs good and I don't really have complaints. I find the ride to be a little to harsh though. I think the frame and the handlebars are a lot stiffer than my previous TFSA frame (Wheels and tires are the same). I actually preferred the TFSA frame for the comfort. In a weird way I even like the look of the TFSA frame better (I have it on my indoor trainer now). The Hygge frame looks great, but I like the simple look of the TFSA (Tarmac SL6 clone). I also still have heel strikes on the chainstays with this frame, even with the 5mm longer pedal axles, 1mm extra pedal spacer and I adjusted my cleats to have my heels further outward (not great for my knees I think). I also regret getting a frame that has no 0-setback seatpost option... None of the carbon saddles have rails that are far enough to the back for them to fit for me. So there is nothing wrong with the frame, but if I would have to choose again now, I think I would order the TFSA SL7 clone or the identical Delihea Tank Machine. Prices are about the same as the Hygge Model S and Delihea has some nice simple paint schemes. August 31, 2023, 01:19:37 AM |

Re: Lightest Hub and Rims!
if you are sub 90kg the light bicycle AR25s are going to be the lightest. there are also some Fiber In rims that are sub 300g with no weight limit. as for hubs, extralite, Tune DT Swiss 180 are probably the lightest. however, novatec 411/412 are super light and affordable, venfort makes a super light DT 180/240 clones that are way cheaper than the other. One more vote for the Novatec hubs. I have been looking for alternative hubs on Ali and you can find some that are 50-60gr lighter. But I am a Novatec fan for the simplicity of their hubs and especially because they just work (after you replaced the original set of bearings after a few 100km's that is) and it it very easy to get replacement parts... You can get a less known brand hub that is lighter, but what if the freehub gets damaged (happens a lot judging by the reviews of for example Goldix hubs) and you have to order one from china... 1 month without a bike if you are unlucky. You can get Novatec replacement parts from their own (EU) website or from a lot of online bike stores. Combine the 411/412 hubs with 315gr carbon rims and Sapim laser spokes and you have a 1200gr wheel

Re: Lightest Hub and Rims!
Do you have a link for the fiber in rims? You're probably better of just ordering the complete wheels from them. When I was looking for a high rim wheelset I came across Fiberin and they have a gravel wheelset with 45mm rims and the 411/412 hubs for less money than you can find the parts on their own. I bought them last year and they are great. I use them on my roadbike with 28mm tires now. August 31, 2023, 01:29:03 AM |

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
You can just search for them on Aliexpress One thing to add is that I did have problems with the seatpost slipping on the TFSA (and I am not alone in this). I did manage to solve it with some cloth tape on the seatpost, thread locker on the bolt and a lot of carbon paste. The Hygge seatpost just stays fixed as is with 5Nm torque. One plus for the TFSA frame is that you can buy a replacement seatpost for the frame from multiple vendors and you can ask them for a August 31, 2023, 03:01:39 AM |

Re: Yishun R086-D Aero Road
I finally found a brand that sells the 1088-D! And only 3.000€ for their frameset. August 31, 2023, 08:17:46 AM |

Re: Getting kicked around by LightCarbon, should I dispute with paypal?
I understand your impatience... I have the same problem every time I buy big items from China (the impatience). BUT I have yet to encounter a seller that is not over-promesing and under-delivering when it comes to production or shipping times, so I would wait a little longer... Before you order they are all very friendly and promise you the world. When they have your order/money that all changes

Re: Velo Build R-099 Build
I have just recieved a LTK268D/VBR-99 and i am really struggling with routing the full outer FD cable into the grommet on the frame, any tips on how to do this? Use one of those routing kits... On my last build I thought I could just do it with some brake cable I had lying around, but the outer cable kept on hitting the edge of the hole so would not go through. I struggled for 30 min. Than I took my routing kit and it went trough the hole immediately... September 01, 2023, 10:17:27 AM |

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
So today I've done my 3rd ride with the frame. 120km group (6 people) ride. - I'm now sure the frame is much stiffer than the TFSA frame I had. With my 28mm tires with 55 / 60 PSI, I feel every little bump in the road. So if you are looking for comfort... this is not the frame to get... - For the moment there IS a problem with the seatpost slipping... Between the beginning of the ride and the end the seatpost went down about 1,5cm... And of course this scratched the seatpost... Now I have upped the torque to 6Nm, cleaned the post and again added a lot of carbon paste AND put some mild threadlocker on the bolt. We'll see if this helps... September 03, 2023, 09:15:45 AM |

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
All in all which one do you prefer, the TFSA or Hygge? The TFSA I had bookmarked is now $850. I hope they "correct" the price. If I would have too choose now, knowing what I know now, I would probably go for the Delihea Tank Machine (=TFSA SL7 clone frame). Because of the following reasons:
