Hygge Aero Carbon Frame

[BeR]

So I finally managed to put together my bike based on the Hyyge frame. It looks and rides very good. My setup is Elite wheels ENT2.0, tubeless with S-works tyres, mechanical 105. Ale together went 8.1 kg in size large.
I went 100 km in one shotn lastly. But there is one issue I have so far. Noises form the seatpost and I don't know how to deal with it? Put  more or less torque on the seat clamp?

Have you put carbon paste ? No seatpost slipping ?

I also had a creak that I could not find the source of. Took a while until I figured it out.
You should check te following: on the rear dropout - drive side- the part where the axle screws in, is made up of 2 aluminium parts that are held together with that tiny silver screw. The outside part has a cylinder with thread in which the axle goes. On my bike this cylinder protruded too far on the inside, past the inside surface of the inside aluminium part(so past the inside of the DS dropout). The problem was that the wheel axle was not clamped hard enough between the two dropouts and this caused the wheel to move a very tiny bit every time I put force on the pedals. Just enough to cause an annoying creak every time I pushed the pedals.
The solution was to sand down the cylinder just enough so that it stayed on the inside of the inner part. When you tighten the thru axle, the axle of the wheel is now clamped between the 2 dropouts.
I hope what I'm writing here makes any sense. It's hard to explain...

Had the same issue, but solved it by apply a thick layer of grease and the clicks disappeared. But after your post, I think I'll to sand down that part.

I give it to put together to my lbs and there is a carbon paste. I saw it because I changed a bit high of the saddle and it only occurs when I'm not pedaling good enough from the saddle but moving a bit on it. I made 100km ride and there were no slipping.

I will check that, but my first guess is saddle add I wrote on top.

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?

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!

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.

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.

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!

I've been lurking on this forum for a long time and finally purchased my first chiner frame.

Ordered on Friday, August 23rd and delivered to the US on Tuesday, September 3rd.
Size medium with the 360/120 bar.
I don't have a borescope so I can't see all of the tubes, but the headtube, seat tube and bottom bracket looks very clean.
I plan on building this bike up over the next few months with 105 di2 and Elite Edge 50mm wheels.

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!
