Hygge Aero Carbon Frame

[lkbfreak]

I did have contact with the seller. The answer is always "This week friend".

Then I have some hope they will still ship it soon.

I am also getting nervous. But thats the choice when you order from China probably.
I ordered it to the EU.

This is their answer after my message and scrubbing of their shipping time and policy - "Hey friend, we understand your feeling very well, since now is in peak season for all the shipping method, as we checked the tracking, the pack is already in EU now"!

As I thought - they dropship and wait for the quantity large enough to cut the expenses.

Nothing else but wait.

You will need (probably) CNG-TH1 or No. 4

This one fits. I just installed it BUT you will need to take the Dremel to the frame and the hanger...
The new hanger does not fit in the original space because there is a little too much carbon (see pic). I decided to take the risk and ground it away with my Dremel until it fit.
Second problem is that the outer part of the hanger will not fit in the hole of the new hanger. The hole is a tiny fraction to small. So again I took the Dremel and enlarged it by a fraction of a mm until both parts fitted. I did have to adjust the B-screw to increase the gap between upper pulley and lagest cog.
This is the result:


The problem:

I would probably not touch the frame... Not worth in my mind to mess with something that isn't broken. If it was a straight swap then yes, would consider it an upgrade (although I doubt that it affects shifting as much), but altering a perfectly working system I cannot justify to myself if something goes wrong. This goes straight to my spare parts bin.

hi everyone after reading this topic I decided to give it a go and today I did my first 60km ride.

First I need to say that the feeling is great when I get the bike up to speed it holds it up very well.
It is my first experience with a bike build and I need to say that it wasn't as bad as some people say.
I chose 105 12 speed and the shifting is silky smooth, brakes are great too.

Problems I had with this particular frame. When I received the package, the derailleurs hangers were missing for both of the frames and one of the bolts to hold the derailleur was too short so I had to buy new bolts and cut them to the right length. The compression plug was bad quality so I chose to go with a BBB one and for now it seems all good.

Overall coming from a 2014 sensa romania, I'm absolutely in love with the bike, I think it looks stunning and feels way way faster. LMK if any of you have questions abt the build

PS: please guys don't overtight bolts

My frame has finally showed up in Belgium so I expect to have it in a week or so and will start building a bike. 

Do you guys know which one of these silicone covers would best fit seatpost clamp?

Nice built! And I agree, there is so much content online that with some prep time building a bike is not something to be afraid of

I would think the middle one. There's no space behind the squared off section of the seatpost.

That would also be my guess.

Hello friends.

sram etap axs front gear is short for 53/39. i couldn't install it. is it necessary to change the front gear holder for this? there is a very small difference but it doesn't work unfortunately. does hygge sell a longer front gear holder?

Make the front derailleur mounting slot longer with a rat tail file if you need just 1-2 mm more adjustment.

How will this modification affect i.e. the reversal? Like putting back the original hanger? Will it still be securely mounted in a right way? I'm curious since I ordered the exact direct mount hanger. Thx

I guess the original will still fit. No guarantees though

The 2023 (non eps?) rim brake version of the frame now seems to be discounted to 480 USD in their website vs the 2024 EPS disc brake version at 640 USD.

A sub 500 carbon frame of this quality is tempting, but perhaps better to go for the EPS mold version.. what do you think

So you would take a rim brake instead of disc just for the discount?

[Neuron]

  tbh, no particular preference in that area, my good ol rim brakes proved plenty for my sea level rides (apart from really wet conditions), plus the easier to maintain.. But I get the point, maybe it’s time to take the leap and join the disc - side when pulling the trigger on the Hygge model S 2024
