Since you will have the new EPS molded frame, can you please make sure to take pictures of the internals of the frame and share them with us? Thanks a lot!!!

Will do and report back certainly!

The cables will go through the section that you have circled in the picture and that part will be facing forward. The other holes are to make the ring lighter and more flexible so it can deform easily and grip the steerer better. I would go around the whole ring with some fine sandpaper as I can see a lot of burrs around all of the edges.

Thanks mate! I get it now. It will be my first fully internally routed road bike so I'm not familiar with some technical details. Thanks to the forums like this one and people like you it is always easier. My frame is on the way and should arrive in a few days hopefully - so excited!

I recieved yesterday new set of aluminum spacers and new C ring. I took a week to deliver it since I contacted with Hygge

Nice! So if I understand correctly - each cable goes through a hole in C ring?

Contacted Hygge about the upgraded headset compression ring as they advertised that on the FB post about the EPS mold frame, and they are sending me the ring for 1$. My mods to the stock C-ring are holding very well and after 3000km I have no headset play but I would like not to have aluminium tape or microspacers anywhere in the headset.

Nice that they changed it and send it out to existing customers. Did you paid any taxes or anything importing your frame to Macedonia? I live in Croatia and Hygge claims no duties or taxes for EU countries so...

Cheers!

Just got a info in a message from Hygge that they are raising the prices of EPS frames from late September forward...  :)

I also stumbled upon a YT video and seems like the Hygge ins now including the aluminum spacers https://youtu.be/wthsyLFcdAY?si=Fc6xMne_jk61a4pR&t=162 and different compression ring https://youtu.be/wthsyLFcdAY?si=Fc6xMne_jk61a4pR&t=162. Even the handlebars look different judging by the print on it and black hardware.

The author of the video also comments that the frame is EPS mold and that there is aslo a clearance for 160 mm rear disc, not 140 mm like the previous non EPS frame.

Hopefully they changed the things based on the customer feedback.

Can't wait to get mine!

Here the similar issue that i saw in aliexpress reviews
https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=158720

Yeah, I've seen this but take a look how low the upper arm of the triangle is recessed on that bike. And if it's size S or XS there you have a problem. On poorly designed frames and rear triangles you would struggle to put even Shimano Ultegra etc. calipers. Seen this before.

I found a web page where you can graphically compare frames and it seems like the geometry of my Domane and Hygge model S is pretty similar in terms of rear triangle so hopefully there will be no issues.

That hybrid calipers won't be working properly anyway due to internal routing of the cable. It bends too much inside the handlebar.

Now that's not true. I have the same brakes on my Trek Domane and I'm using Deda Alanera with internally routed cables and no difference in performance. If the bends of the housing should be extreme then yes, it may reduce the usability.

I used the ZTTO hybrid caliper and SRAM Force hydraulic caliper with a 160mm disc without any problems. My frame is XS. However, I saw reviews that said the Juin Tech F1 and TRP HY/RD didn’t fit in the XS frame.

I have Juin F1's and hoping to fit them to M frame. I just don't want to go downsize to 140 mm disc. Hygge seller did confirmed that frame supports 160 rear but that also depends on the caliper build. Generally full hydros are smaller in size then cable actuated hydraulic calipers. And ZTTO hybrids and TRP's look much bigger and beefier than Juin F1's. Keeping my fingers crossed they'll fit my frame size!

Hi everyone! I just ordered new EPS molding version frame in Pearl white and waiting to be shipped. Is anyone using 160 mm disc in the rear? Any problems with caliper clearance when installing?
