- DI2 hole for the RD is aweful; I had to drill out the hole (someone did the same - thanks for the tip here in the forum/ I went crazy while trying to fit he cable)

Guess that was me mentioning that - great I could help.

And edit tells me: I need to 3d print something fot the DI2 battery since it's "secured" by bubble wrap atm.
 
I think also used bubble wrap and it didn’t work for long. Then switched to (sticky) bartape which works perfectly!

Btw frame has now more than 4000km on it and I am still very happy with it.

Mine also with Elite Drive. First 500km with the bike were satisfying
Nice :) So at least two Hygge bikes with Drive wheels on the German roads!

What wheels are those? Do I read DuraAce? But i havent seen DA wheels in that finish...

Haha, busted! Those are Elitewheels Drive. I really like them since for me the raw carbon finish perfectly matches the finish of the frame but I didn't like the Drive decals. So I ordered them without decals and used the Dura-Ace decals wich are more subtle/classy if you ask me.

Hi guys,
took some time to build the bike mainly because I was missing components and because of lack of time. However, the weather here is anyway still too bad to ride it outside.

Bike weighs 7.3 kg including pedals and wahoo mount. Only the bottle cages are missing...so pretty much spot on 7kg without.

Only things that I still need to work on are:
- fine tune the shifting
- check if I like the brakes or if I swap them to the stock ltwoo ones. I like the silver look of the zrace but they still feel a little spongy compared to the ultegra brakes on my old bike. Maybe I just need to re-bleed them again, let's see.

The build-process was generally pretty simple. The only issue I had was that I needed tro drill out the whole for the di2 cable in the chainstay as it was not properly drilled inside.  I think there were some sharp edges inside so the cable didn't want to go through. The rest was straightforward.

I will wait with my first ride until we have dry conditions here  :)

Future updates to arrive at around 7kg ready to ride might be a lighter cassette (I use a 105 11-32 right now), lighter chain and maybe 140 rotor in the back.

I haven’t cut mine yet but maybe check henrychungs build on YT. I think he shows the way how he cut the fork.

Anyone replaced most of the standard screws with titanium screws and can provide an overview of the screw types, especially for stem and saddle?

 Thanks for the info guys.
Had a quick look in the morning, tried it again and now it works smoothly :)

Will build it up throughout January. I already got most of the parts, only one important thing is missing…the groupset. I want to stay 11 speed so I can swap wheels easily from my other bike plus I already got the 11 speed sram red crankset. Probably going to buy the er9 but I am still wondering if I should maybe wait a little and see if the wheeltop group will be officially launched soon…

Hi guys,

I ordered the Hygge frame a month ago and yesterday it already arrived in Germany, although it was expected to arrive beginning of February. At first glance all looks pretty good, no obvious defects.
One small issue I came across…I tried to mount the bottom bracket as a small test but could not screw it in at first try (it’s a token triple8 for SRAM GXP). Anyone of you had problems with the BSA threads?
Will try it again when I come back home from Christmas holiday
