Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
I am thinking of doing a build with the Hygge Model S EPS molded frame. 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) November 24, 2024, 06:48:51 AM |

Re: New Avenger R8-RS
Love the look of it! I’m running a 12-speed Ultegra Di2 setup. The hydraulic hose routing on this bike is pretty straightforward: the hoses exit through small holes on both sides of the stem and enter two small ports on the handlebar. While routing them is incredibly easy, each port can only fit a single line. Moreover, there are no routing holes on the frame for mechanical shifting. Unfortunately, this means the frame is incompatible with mechanical shifting. July 03, 2026, 10:57:19 AM |

Re: New Avenger R8-RS
I found it on a french webshop as well which would give me free shipping and 2-year warranty according to EU law (I am from EU country). I am very tempted! the stack is low AF (the stack they claim is wrong by the height of the bars, which is enormous. You end up with a very very low stack. They dont disclose the tyre clearance which is a huge red flag, apparently it's 34mm? says who, is it true, who knows. Historically these were 500$ frames, until one day they just jacked up the prices. It's like yoeleo. Yoeleo is youtuber catnip. They charge a premium for stuff that should cost 500$. At the right price, this would have been interesting a year or 2 ago. Now i'm not considering anything that can't clear 35C (not 35mm, mind you). So, wrong geometry, wrong price, and outdated.

Re: New Avenger R8-RS
Tire clearance from their website (just search 34 and it will show): https://avengerbikes.com/blogs/news/aero-validation-avenger-r8rs-wind-tunnel-performance-report In geometry charts, stack is measured to the top of the stem. However, the upper headset cup actually has about a 30mm drop (on a size 56 frame, though I'm not sure about other sizes). So, the actual stack for a size 56 frame should be: the stack from the geometry chart - 30mm + handlebar rise. By the way, I noticed the geometry is very similar to the Cervélo S5.（At least on a size 56, the stack from the geometry chart + 40mm handlebar rise） July 08, 2026, 07:51:36 AM |

Re: New Avenger R8-RS
Tire clearance from their website (just search 34 and it will show): https://avengerbikes.com/blogs/news/aero-validation-avenger-r8rs-wind-tunnel-performance-report Ah, thank you, i looked at the product pages, didn't know about this page. It's a major blunder not to spell out tyre clearance on a product page (suspicious too). So that page says 34C (which is actually good) while someone on this thread said 34mm. The fact that it's not on the product page would mean i'd never order that without a formal response from someone working there, by email. As to stack, +1 on crwlv888's response. The advertised stack, if their diagram is correct, is off by the height of the stem. Whether it's 30mm, idk. Either way, that's another blunder that would need clearing formally by email. Messy stuff. Frame geometry and tyre clearance might be the 2 most important aspects of a bike if you want it to fit. July 08, 2026, 10:36:50 AM |

Re: New Avenger R8-RS
I assumed the stack would be 565 + 71 = 636mm for a size 56 with a 100 mm stem. However, once the bike was fully built, I noticed the handlebars felt lower than on my other bikes. Looking back at the geometry chart, I realized that the stack line actually extends all the way to the top of the stem. On the other hand, the handlebar rise (Rising height A) is measured from the bottom of the stem. When I actually measured the height from the bottom to the top of the handlebar, it was about 30mm (or more accurately, somewhere in the 20s, but whatever). Therefore, the actual stack should be 565 + 71 - 30 = 606mm. This perfectly explains why the handlebars felt lower than I expected. The build quality of this bike is excellent, and the design doesn't look like a generic open-mold frame at all. I really like it and highly recommend it. That said, they definitely have room for improvement when it comes to the labeling on their geometry charts and the handlebar data. (They initially told me that the rise was a uniform 71 mm across all handlebars regardless of stem length, but that clearly isn't the case.) Honestly I don't understand that conspiracy theories. How you calculated that 30 mm ? They provided rather clear geometry chart, I added it to the post! However, I also pointed them some time ago, that they had some mistake. Previously for the size 58 they provided 410 mm reach while it's 401 mm. I'm using bike geocalc website for all calculations link - https://www.bikegeocalc.com/#12Avenger+R8RSa0b4c738.90475d270e578.68506f794.05501g1049.20277h340.99523i340j340k1341.855l857m1139.5895n708.53751o1184.13038p958.03145q1217.8362r1321.0362s958.03145t31.8u38v-17.2w0x0y250z40A1B102C0D398.31735E45.16906F165G0H0Z15Falath+EVO+2024a0b4c744.1522d271e574.60949f836.11527g1037.72683h379.23734i340j340k1333.35615l841m1132.9522n700.70902o1175.84345p931.29337q1217.88451r1338.75562s933.75643t31.8u35v10w0.00001x0y250z40A4B120C0D391E45.16905F165G0H0Z July 08, 2026, 07:00:46 PM |

Re: Tagoola wheel
I may have been unclear with wording, but quoting myself: "...I would have chosen such an option as well, but it was unreasonably priced for some reason...". These were the shipping options for this wheelset (and still are). They are not just "a bit more expensive" as paying any of those shipping prices for 250 USD wheelset dosn't really make sense right? Again - don't know why, but it is what it is. Of course that does not justify me not knowing about the anti-dumping tax and yet here we are - everything sumed up is 188 EUR in taxes for 220 EUR wheelset. But this is kind of offtopic for this thread - Tagoola is not at fault, just explained the situation when was asked for my feedback on the wheelset. July 09, 2026, 01:57:26 PM |

Re: Sensah Electronic Groupset (14 speed?)
It looks like the release of this groupset is imminent. It recently made a debut on the Twitter x7 bike and I found a rebadged version on Google called "whaleroad r7" - https://www.mywhaleroad.com/

Community driven bicyle tire width measurements - rubbersideup.cc
Hello everyone, As more and more discussions, podcasts and Youtube video's have been revolving around tire width, I decided to create a community driven bicycle tire width measurements database: rubbersideup.cc . A bit like geometry geeks, but then for measured tire widths. So then you can have a good estimation of whether your tire/ internal rim width combination will fall in the 105% rule, or would even clear your frame. All added home-measurements can be submitted and would be very well appreciated. Also potential improvements can be posted here. Cheers July 26, 2026, 08:47:39 AM |

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?
Of course, there are still some maniacs and strange cyclist, that are using 25 mm for bikes, not on a rim brake frame, but 34 mm is quite a lot! I also have some doubts if I calculated that properly, or the data is not correct, but there is no way to check it. Moreover, they provided the calculation for 90 mm steam only. I need 120 mm, so that is also quite different.
