Onirii carbon cranks, DUB spindle. From the photos they look nice enough, but I wonder if they are any good? 3 bolt mounting, os should be compatible with number of spider power meters

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
« on: August 01, 2023, 05:34:26 AM »
Is it just my app going crazy or did the prices of all Hygge products went up by 200€? Frame was around 600, now it's 800, Pro wheels were around 800, now they are over 1000, cheaper level wheels were 500, now they are over 700.

123
Isn't the Speeder around $750 just for the frameset with handlebar? That would make it over 30% more expensive than Hygge.

Did some more research, it's the same mold as Winow FM236. I wonder if they just use the same tooling/molding or are they actually made by the same factory.

124
The more I research this company/factory the more I like what they're doing.

Whether or not their frames are open mold it's nice to see the perception of an actual brand at this price point. Decals, paint options, and solid customer service it seems. A company like this can help alleviate some of the anxiety for first time Far East frame buyers.

I'm kind of tempted to test one their aero frame in either white or chameleon. Even though I criticized them earlier in this thread   :-X

I think the frame is their own mold. They have shown pictures of new mold of rim brake version and I haven't had any luck in finding someone else sell this frame under their brand

125
Yeah, same here. They are insanely fast and thourough...
I am guessing this is not some 1 person third party seller like most on Ali but it is a factory store... In the pictures they sent me there are boxes and boxes of frames on warehouse racks in the background.

Yeah, they have Facebook page and they have posted actual pictures of frame with ton of boxes visible in background. Also, there are pictures of molding of rim brake version of this frame

126
So I've contacted their Ali store and asked about other possible shipping options (1.1k for Fedex is bit too much), after few measages and 40 minutes the seller has set up Aliexpress shipping option. I supposely it's partly because it was day time in China, but it's still the fastest communication I've experienced with Aliexpress.

127
Is matte black the only colour choice when ordering a single framest from them? Both the new frame and that aero LX-something-something look nice, and that paintjob on aero frame is sweeeeet

Take it with grain of salt, but someone uploaded geometry chart to LightCarbon Facebook page. Looks to be more aggressive than SuperSix Evo


128
Yes, Light Carbon

129
I've seen them on Ali and they do look nice from the pictures, but the only shipping option to my country is Fedex which costs roughly 1100 euros. Hard pass.

The build is coming along nicely. What size chainring/cassette do you plan to use for this build? Still trying to decide between either the Elves or this frame and I was thinking about going with 1x AXS kit myself. And most importantly, I found some (seemingly) genuine Giant Propel bottle cages on ali, that alone is surely gonna give me massive savings (just kidding)

131
Not sure if it is older version or something, but here's one https://www.bike24.com/p2313768.html?menu=1000,1868,1969. Granted, it doesn't include crankset, cassette and chain, but upgrade kits are pretty barebone.

132
Did you add the VAT and inport tax to the price of Ltwoo?

Rival 1 AXS kit can be found under 700€. 2x set up is more expensive at 800-ish, 105 upgrade kit is a grand. Meanwhile, the only electric ltwoo listing I saw on Ali was over 800.

133
This frame has been growing on me. First I was considering getting Elves Eglath, but now, not so sure (2022 Falath Pro is another option). Problem is, I want bit more stack height than my current set up (530mm stack frame + 45mm spacers (I bought the bike as is, so I wasn't the one who came up with this)). Would 30mm spacers look utterly ridiculous on aero frame?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: 36cm bars?

Although it's not a integrated handlebar, but Prime does offer their Primavera bars at 36mm width

Logically, there should be no difference between shifting performance and tactility. Did you perhaps buy the carbon shifters long time after alloy shifters?
