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!

I did not order the frame to Macedonia but to a friend's address in Greece which is 30 min drive across the border from where I live. The shipping to Macedonia was as much as the frame itself so not very cost effective. I then imported the frame to Macedonia as parts and was not requested any payments. It would have been a totally different story if I ordered directly to Macedonia.
The shipping (sellers shipping method) includes all taxes and customs duties to EU and my fiend did not pay anything extra and got the frame delivered to his door. The same will apply for Croatia since you are in EU, so no worries, there will be no extra charges for you if you select sellers shipping method (DPD) when ordering the frame. Also, you should contact them before purchasing to make sure of the cost of shipping to Croatia.

I ordered frame to Poland. I can confirm that there is no customs if you choose seller shipping method. Package was sent by DPD from Belgium.

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.

I also have aluminum tape on my C ring and that has eliminated headset play for over 500km. I guess i'll try to reach out to them too to try and get the updated ring. Have you had the chance to try it yet and if it fixed the headset play? (Guessing you haven't received it yet)





On another topic, does anyone have a aliexpress link to a rubber grommet that fits the front derailleur? I bought one for the RD and FD but only the rear one fits and I'm not sure which one to get at this point for the front.

Cheers

They just shipped the ring today so it will be a loooooong time before I will get it, that is how our post office works (or doesn't work :D) for cheap parcels. Either way I'm not in a rush.

For the grommet, I used old rubber protective rubber sleeve from V-brakes. Fits the cable nicely and plugs the hole very well and prevents water and dirt ingression. Alternatively, you may punch out a hole in the gromet that plugs the hole and route the cable through that, if we are talking about Di2.

So I treated my artist with new finish line carbon gel and the noise is gone. I have one more issue that I can't resolve. Sometime there is an issue that the disc brake rubs on the pads. It occurs only while riding, not on the stand. I guess that is something with lateral stiffenes, but I can't recognize which component does that. Wheel is2 the fork. Anyone had that issue?
I also ordered updated C ring and aluminium spacers for 11 USD.

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

I didn't figure it out yet. I will replace it during winter. My play is not big and roads in my area are mostly smooth.

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!

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!!!

Good point, weights too as probably that will make more difference with EPS molding. For reference, mine were frame size S with all hardware mounted (both hangers and thru axle) 1060g, fork with thru axle attached 386g uncut, seatpost with saddle clamp 200g uncut.
