Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
Can anyone recommend a resource for walking through a build for these Chinese frames? Youtube is where I would go - here is a two-part series specific to the Hygge model by Henry Chung (who also posts on here I believe). Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz9O7tMQVe4 Part 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58-htKDpXQ0 Maybe it's helpful to watch a few general build videos in addition to the above, starting with everyone's favorite Youtuber*, Trace Velo. £1000 AliExpress Carbon road bike build - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRVsX2WEkqg Jourdain Coleman has several build series that provide additional details. See the four 'Bike Build' playlists - https://www.youtube.com/@JourdainColeman/playlists (I'd focus on the 'build process' videos within the respective playlists, the rest aren't that relevant to the assembly of the various bikes) * Sorry, couldn't find a build video by everyone's other favorite Youtuber, Patrick Lino.

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
So my LBS built a bike with my Hygge frame that I'd received earlier this month. They said it went very smoothly. However, now that I've gotten it home, I noticed what seems like a lot of space between the final headset spacer and the frame. Talked to Hygge about it and they they think "it is not flat when screw the bolt", though I'm not sure what that means. Anyone have some thoughts on why this extra space? Yep, that's too much space between headset cover and the frame. It should be a 1 mm gap between them , just enough so the cap is not rubbing the frame. This looks like your compression ring is maybe upside down or something but isn't certainly right! Get back to your LBS and explain that it should be as described - they should know better! Take a look at the post #635 - this is how it should be done right. A member un the post #653 also has similar problem like yours so I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the c-ring or the whole headset... Spacers have pins that fit into the lower spacer so they stack up and line nicely - headset cover too has a two pins that should align with the compression ring and maybe they are not fitted correctly into holes thus making the cover sits high and tilted. I would disassemble it and try to assemble it again.  You see how the c-ring has a hole just slightly to the right of the blue marker? - it should align with the pin underneath the headset cover. FOR NOW I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND YOU TO RIDE THIS BIKE UNTIL FIXED!!! Cheers November 27, 2024, 12:54:30 AM |

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
Here's my bike build with the Hygge 2024 EPS frame. Paint is obviously custom and I give them high marks for a quality job. They said they'd send me a new, shorter bearing for the issue with the headset gap I mentioned earlier in this thread. Besides the frame, the crankset and BB is also Chinese, a Ryet and Kactus, respectively. Tires are 30mm front and 32mm rear (as measured) and easily clear, though rear is probably at max width. I like the name connection with Don Quijote's horse.  Wish you a many miles on it!
