Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame Well, they responded fast and friendly, so I am going to leave it at that...  :D

This weekend will be the first outdoor ride with the bike (1 month after the crash in which I broke my collar bone). I will keep you all updated.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc! Anyone tried these new lightweight cassettes by ZTTO out? Seems like a competitor to the SROAD cassettes as all the cogs are steel but are hollowed out to save weight.
The main difference is that the aluminum spider seems to be attached with thicker and more robust arms, maybe fixing the cracking issue from long-term use of SROAD.

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.

Re: RYET road wheels Thanks for the recommendations. re: oz cycle, as long as I'm not promoting the dog killer then that's okay!

As for the brake track, I have pretty low expectations but 99% of my riding is in the dry - I'm in a pretty dry climate and if it's raining I'd usually go on the trainer. I'll keep an eye on the hubs - a YouTuber mentioned in a review from mid-2022 that the brake track was poor in wet conditions and the hub had poor weather sealing, but the one I've bought appears to have both a different hub design and seemingly a more grooved brake track.

Hasn't even shipped out yet so probably still a few weeks until it arrives.

Re: Recommendations for building a rim brake lightcarbon frame I think that LightCarbon LCR007 and Hongfu FM008 currently are the lightest chiner frames.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc! https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805238102015.html

I finally received my finned brake pads for my Juin Tech F1 calipers. I know full hydraulic is the way to go (I have them on my gravel bike), but this setup has been working fine for all the road climbing/descending I do. Pad material is a bit thick, so if your rotor is slightly off, you'll have to bed them in or sand then down slightly.

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...

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc! I know you guys hate cable hydraulic brakes with a passion, but Juin Tech just released their 6 piston calipers. Though price is a bit steep at $244 USD per caliper!

Updated: Also Juin Tech F1S calipers are now released with an updated pad adjuster on the side of the caliper:
