Hygge Aero Carbon Frame

[nrav90]

I've been building up the Hygge Model S and have been questioning my headset install. There looks to be too much of a gap between headset and frame, especially on top, but bearings are seated nicely.

Thoughts?

That seems too much in my opinion. Maybe you installed c ring upsidedown? Mine is nicely flush and has a minimal gap.

Yeah, your bearings will be ruined in no time like that... There must be something installed wrong... Do the pins of the spacer fit nicely in the holes?

Does anyone have info on what other brand Hyyge's seatpost is similar or identical to? I'm just curious because I'm trying to find a 3d printed radar seatpost mount... THx

I have been searching in the past because I would like a 0 setback post, but could not find any...

Me too. No luck. I will try and contact Hygge and ask which design did they used. I suppose that they used ready made cockpit and seatpost designs, not developing their own. Will report back. Thx

Btw, my OCD wouldn't leave me alone so I decided to order red M5 screws for bottle cages from AliX to match other red bits such as chain catcher, brake callipers, valve caps etc.

They arrived and I tried to install one and it snapped! Part of it stayed inside the rivet nut 

The rivet nuts are not of great quality but at least screws that came with the frame are (I'm guessing they are stainless steel by the hardness and weight).

So I had to drill the hole and use the tap and die set (luckily I have one for small diameters).

Lesson learned - don't buy cheap parts cause they may cost you too much in the end!

Working on a 3d printed seatpost mount for my Garmin Varia

Great! Do you mind sharing a files for the model? Thx!

Btw do you know what kind of seatpost Hygge uses in terms of similarity to other brands?

Cheers

Just got an answer which I don't like...

The seatpost is totally proprietary and you won't be able to find a replacement. As for the holder for the radar light, if you have a friend that is good with 3D design, or you personally are handy with this, the holder can be designed and printed easily. Alternatively, search AliX for saddle radar light holder and there are tons of options that will allow you to mount the radar on the saddle rails, which to me looks much better than a strap on to the seatpost.

This is just an example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002687365308.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.3.5aaf0no10no1oF&algo_pvid=7c7c7808-7f34-43f1-b156-189030e091d0&algo_exp_id=7c7c7808-7f34-43f1-b156-189030e091d0-2&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21EUR%214.77%213.38%21%21%214.88%213.46%21%40212e532617322794092774151e8e39%2112000035214453707%21sea%21MK%210%21ABX&curPageLogUid=s8VnYQe1dJtM&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A



It will allow you to mount the radar anywhere on the saddle rails as it has fully adjustable tilt angle.

Thanks my friend for the reply!

I have saddle rails holders for varia light but since I'm using a saddle bag it's not convenient so I was searching for somethong like KOM cycling copy or something. But that's a minor problem

BTW - bike rides like a dream and does everything you throw at it! Just like you said. I crushed all my PR's with same effort on this bike. Cheers!

I am thinking of doing a build with the Hygge Model S EPS molded frame. I have been reading a little bit here and there in this thread, but since its 45 pages I have not read it all. Is there some usual problems or quirks that you all have discovered when building it up and how did you deal with it? For example I remember reading about the seatpost slipping, play in the headset or just trouble getting the spacers seated properly. I also wonder if I just can use bubble wrap or something similar to put the Di2 battery in the seatpost? And lastly, do you think it would be wise to ask for an extra seatpost and clamp since they are proprietary?

Seatpost slipping is solved with the new clamp design and the headset troubles are also being taken care of with the new c-ring. I had the plastic spacers and those fit great. New spacers might be metal and those might have a little trouble fitting right. You can buy the spacers assembly on Ali for a couple bucks, so it might be a good idea to get a plastic set and use the plastic upper spacer (directly under the handlebar)

Thank you for the answer! I guess I will contact them and ask about pricing then, its seems to be cheaper to buy it from their official website instead of AliX.

So my LBS built a bike with my Hygge frame that I'd received earlier this month. They said it went very smoothly. However, now that I've gotten it home, I noticed what seems like a lot of space between the final headset spacer and the frame. Talked to Hygge about it and they they think "it is not flat when screw the bolt", though I'm not sure what that means. Anyone have some thoughts on why this extra space?
