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!!!

I forgot to take pictures of the headtube before mocking the frame up on some old wheels, but here's a pic of the bottom bracket.

Help! Just got the EPS frame. Two questions
1) Anyone use a washer for fixing bolt C and C2 that attached rear disc brake to frame? Frame width is ~20mm and the shimano bolts that came with groupset are for 25mm frame.

2) Looks like the threading on the fork for the front disc brake is either threaded or not not machined well. Any solutions? would you use tapping oil?

1) You can use washer but I recommand to buy the right length screw.

Edit : Added picture.

Looks like you have butyl tubes. If you buy TPU tubes on aliX, should cost you <10usd for a pair, and that should save you 5-7W, something like that, at every moment you're out riding. Which is a lot.
It's quantified on bicycle rolling resistance website if you want to have a look.

It's been 4 years since the wheels in the picture have been on the road. I just put them on the Hygge for mock up purposes.

I have a set of Light Bicycle AR36 wheels with RideNow TPU tubes on my current bike that I will use on the Hygge until I can get some new deeper wheels.

I ordered my 105 Di2 groupset yesterday, so hopefully I can start building the bike up next week.

Update:
1. Found the screws. Solved the problem.
2. Tapping Oil works!

Does anybody know which direct mount RD hanger is compatible with the frame? I have the urge to change to direct mount for no particular reason.

Hi friends!

Regarding the new EPS frame and the look of the internals, here's the new video on YT from Henry Chung so check it out!

I'm still restlessly waiting for my frame as it's been in delivery for 2 weeks now to EU...

Cheers!

I think direct mount hangers are brand specific so you should first find a conventional hanger design that's similar to Hygge one. Maybe try with the Bianchi ones because this frame is pure (geomtery wise) copy of Bianchi Oltre Race

The Wheels Manufacturing website shows their hanger pictures in actual size-you can hold yours up to the screen to compare.

I know that Hygge uses a hanger identical to Colnago 2021-2022: C64 Concept V3R V3RS.

I did find one from the MIXED brand on Ali and indeed it does look identical. Thank you for the suggestion. Will make the order soon.

Me too! Race you to whoever gets it first and finds out if we made the right decision? :D

BTW I got the headset compression ring from Hygge, it is well made but it is the same thickness as the stock ring supplied in earlier iterations of the frame. This has me concerned if it will solve the rubbing of headset cover issue. As it compresses very easy with slight finger pressure, I am sure it will solve the play, not so much about the rubbing. But I am in no rush to test this.
