Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Any good bar tape out there?

I like this type of tape. It doesn't offer much in the way of shock absorption, but it lays down nicely and has a nice selection of colors.

I am looking at picking one of these up for my wife on the 11/11 sale. Is the eps moulded frame worth the extra money? Has someone had both versions ?

As far as I know, the disc brake frame is only available in its EPS variant. The rim brake frame is still the old style.

Rim vs Disc can be debated to eternity.

I finally built the bike and it rides like a dream! Will post some pictures as soon as the sun shows up and do the justice on color and stuff.

Does anyone knows where to get rubber grommets to close the rear and front derailleur cable ports because they seem like a possible water ingress holes? If you are using a DIY stuff please post a pic or link.

Thanx

I used the supplied grommets for my di2 cables and stuck a piece of tape over the hole that a mechanical front derailleur would use. Not sure how well it will hold, but I'm not too worried since there is a drain hole on the bottom of the BB area.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Ryet Saddle (3D Printed and Traditional) Durability (Gravel, XC, CX)

I have a ryet 3d printed saddle on my old bike and one of these www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806062873178.html with the standard EVA cushion and 135mm wide on my new bike. Haven't had an issue with either of them, but the saddle on my new bike is probably the most comfortable saddle I've had yet.

I finished building up my Model S over the weekend. I've only been able to do laps around my neighborhood so far but it feels really good. I will hopefully be able to do a real ride in the next day or two.

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.

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.

I've been lurking on this forum for a long time and finally purchased my first chiner frame.

Ordered on Friday, August 23rd and delivered to the US on Tuesday, September 3rd.
Size medium with the 360/120 bar.
I don't have a borescope so I can't see all of the tubes, but the headtube, seat tube and bottom bracket looks very clean.
I plan on building this bike up over the next few months with 105 di2 and Elite Edge 50mm wheels.
