Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
Well, I would recommend anyone thinking about a Hygge frame to look somewhere else. This brand is very dishonest and WILL NOT HONOUR THE 24 MONTH WARRANTY they claim on their website. Like I said before I noticed a lot of little bubbles on the handlebar last week. After looking it up this is probably microblistering and is because of bad paint preparation and moisture trapped under the paint. This will show as bubbles after a while. I contacted Hygge on Aliexpress because the bike is only 7 months old and has done a little over 1.000km (it was not used during winter). They straight up denied warranty because according to them it is impossible that paint defects show up only after 7 months and they also claim paint defects are no reason for warranty. I also went to their Aliexpress store page and looked trough the reviews. They seem to be having a habit of denying responsibility of wrong deliveries or frames that get damaged in transport. I am actually really sick of all these crappy brands and sellers that are supposed to give 24 months of warranty, but if you need it act like nothing it's wrong so leave it to the customer to spend a lot more money to fix the sellers problems.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Daer all, I've recently ordered Senicx crankset for a low budget gravel project; from the description or user's reviews I can't understand if the 3 screws for gxp chainring are included or I need to do a dedicated order. Someone with similar crankset found the screws in the box?They should be included. Most of my crankset have this interface and they had all included bolts. March 22, 2024, 08:46:56 AM |

Re: XD 12 speed cassette options
Interesting. What derailleur/shifter combo are you using? I've been riding exactly the same cassette but with Sroad branding since 2022 and both of my SLX and Deore derailleurs paired with GX shifter seems to "overshoot" on lowest gears. Whis causes chain rub on second gear and exceptionally bad downshifting from first gear. The derailleur hanger was trued and I also tried 2 new hangers with the same result. Maybe you could try a spacer/washer between the derailleur and the hanger. When I first set up my Sensah SRX pro, I could not get the derailleur to shift fine in the smallest 3 or the biggest 3 sprockets. Turned out I needed to install a 2mm washer to get it all to work OK-ish. Took me 2 frustrating days to find that out.... March 22, 2024, 10:22:26 AM |

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
I don't plan to do anything with the bars. It will probably be a finish issue so no integrity problem. The bars are cheap yes. These are indeed the same as the Kocevlo bars that you can get for a little over 60€. But since they are integrated bars, I am not looking forward to replacing them. I'm just amazed at how Hygge is handling this. It can not cost them more then 30-40 USD to send me a new handlebar, bit they just deny the problem and act as if granting warranty is a choice of the seller. If they act like this for this little money, you can be sure they will not honour warranty when there is a problem with the frame. The bad reviews support this hypothesis. They just hide behind Aliexpress policies instead of helping the customer. It looks like Hygge is just one more seller that is friendly and supportive when they want to sell you something, but the opposite when you need them to fix a problem. March 22, 2024, 01:13:13 PM |

Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress?
@jonathanf2, @TidyDinosaur how much did you pay for the Kactus rotors and which size did you get?I paid 32 USD (incl EU tax) for the CL 160mm version. 2 pieces for that price. March 23, 2024, 07:51:33 AM |

Re: First gravel frame (and first chinese frame)
Same here, out of the 4 framesets I ordered from china the past few years the Carbonda 696 was my first and the whole process went the smoothest. I also think you have the best chance at warranty if something goes wrong. With most Ali sellers the chance on getting warranty is very slim...

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
The first days of the sales you could NOT get the 80 USD coupon if your life depended on it. Now they are handing out 120 USD coupons faster than you can use them
