Contacted Hygge about the upgraded headset compression ring as they advertised that on the FB post about the EPS mold frame, and they are sending me the ring for 1$. My mods to the stock C-ring are holding very well and after 3000km I have no headset play but I would like not to have aluminium tape or microspacers anywhere in the headset.

I also have aluminum tape on my C ring and that has eliminated headset play for over 500km. I guess i'll try to reach out to them too to try and get the updated ring. Have you had the chance to try it yet and if it fixed the headset play? (Guessing you haven't received it yet)





On another topic, does anyone have a aliexpress link to a rubber grommet that fits the front derailleur? I bought one for the RD and FD but only the rear one fits and I'm not sure which one to get at this point for the front.

Cheers

So I want to build a bike with hygge model s (disc) frame, 45x30mm carbon rims and shimano 105 di2.
But I know very little about cranks and bottom brackets. So I'm hoping someone could tell me what I need to purchase to fit 105 di2 on the frame?

You can get the Shimano Ultegra Bottom Bracket for like 20$ USD on aliexpress if you want to stick with shimano everything. You will also need the tool to be able to install it to the frame. You can buy an off brand tool as it doesn't matter too much, unless you're planning to building multiple bikes, no need to splurge on an expensive one

You can use saw drill bit, it will make easy work of the aluminium. As for the headset cover cutting, you would still need to use microspacers as the SL7 ring is thinner/sits lower than the one that is supplied with the frame and do NOT modify the headset cover. Get 0.3mm microspacers as they are dirt cheap on Alix and use the stock C ring.
Aluminium tape is not a permanent solution but it works for me so far.

Thanks RoadieMKD.

0.3mm spacer makes sense on top of the C-ring makes sense to adjust the thickness, however you also mentioned that you added 3 layers where it interfaces with the steerer tube. What will be your permanent solution for that one if you have one already?

Thanks

I ordered and customised this compression ring on Aliexpress. The headset is now 100% free of play (without any torque struggles, just as it's meant to be and ever was on any bike). It seems to be the Specialized design. I hope that it is also a bit gentler for the steerer tube.
referring to the video by henrychungfitness:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805803796644.html

I had to widen the two openings a little so that the Shimano brake cables would fit through.

I cut off the outer plastic ring on the headset cap so that it doesn't rub on the frame.

Well i have received this compression ring. However i'm having trouble making the holes bigger to pass the hydraulic cables. Also I noticed you made the headset cover a bit shorter with just a knife. However, the the headset cover i received is aluminum so I think it'll be much more difficult :/

I will probably try with the aluminum tape method now

Well the tiny bit of play is back after a ~100km this time (a few rides)


Not sure how i can add a 0.5mm C shaped spacer to the headset. Can't it just slip out or the compression will hold it in place?



I think i will go ahead and order the Specialized design mentioned by @fabxyz on ali

Just a regular round spacer/washer/ring, whatever you want to call it (see picture).
As I said, i think that 0.5 would be enough, and searching for thinner spacers I found this from FSA https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/fsa-spacers-kit/138244357/p
look at the description:
 "Integrated headsets sometimes require micro-spacers to adjust the depth of the machined headtube in order to ensure correct fit. Micro-spacers should be used between the top cover and compression ring to make sure the top cover does not contact the top of the headtube."
That's exactly what I did, so, from this description, I assume that this is not a problem of this particular Hygge's frames, it's a common issue. Also I just realized that is enough to install the ring as it comes, not necessary to cut it into a C shape. I'll try some day which thickness is the perfect one, for now I'll stay with the 1mm as it works.

Thanks for the explanation. With integrated headset, is there a way to install this spacer without having to undo all my hydraulic cables?

^Nice,
I'm sort of new to building bikes...

Can you explain how does adding an extra spacer will resolve the headset play? Also where did you purchase the spacer from?


On my end, i did the same as TinyDinosaur and it seems to have worked for 1 ride. Will continue on a few other rides and report back.


Thanks

Did a 125km ride today and the play did not come back. So for now the 9Nm on the expander (higher than recommended) and the 5Nm on the stem bolt seems to hold.

I think i'll give it a try too, but i'm not sure that is what my problem is.


I did 6.5nm on the expander, and 6nm on the stem bolts and i still have some play after my ride.

But upon inspection it seems like my expander plug did not move, but just the stem maybe? I'm not sure if I should add some carbon paste on my stem. Anyone has suggestions?

With me, the play is not very noticeable when not riding the bike. I have to press the front brake lever while sitting on my top tube (to keep the rear wheel from lifting from the ground) and rock the bike front and back. I can than see the headset cap move about 1mm relative to the frame

Yes this is what i notice with mine too. Hold front break and rock the bike back and forth. There is a very minimal amount of play but enough to notice.

I just did a 30km ride after tightening the topcap to 4nm but the play still came back after the ride. :(

The thing is i don't actually have any play after setting up the bike in my garage. The play starts to develop during the ride...i'm assuming after hitting some bumps/road cracks i would guess. I've re-tightened the topcap screw a little bit more and I will report back on my next ride. It seems like it was not very tight after my few initial ride.

Finished my build and rode ~100km with it so far.

Having issues with headset play.

I've torqued the compression plug to 6nm with and without carbon paste. and the stem to 6nm as well but after one ride there is always some play.

Has anyone encountered this and was able to fix it?

How far does your seatpost go in? There is a max insertion depth, so it is normal you have to cut your seatpost

It was stopping at the #7 marking which is like 18cm in the seat tube

Also for future reference. official torque specs from Hygge
Seat Post clam: 5-6 nm
Stem: 5-6 nm
Handlebar: 5-6 nm
Compression plug: 6 nm

Received and started building the bike and ran into my first problem.

Overall on the outside everything looks pretty good.


However, my seat post won't go in all the way because there is a lip of carbon. I'm missing around 10mm of seat post inside to get my desired seat height. I think I have 2 options:

1) File down the carbon in the seat tube so that the seat post goes in.
2) Cut the seat post by 10mm


Also noticed some imperfections but I think are mostly cosmetic from the mold
Does anyone know what's better?

Just bought 3 Ride Now TPU tubes from Ali
2 for the bike with 1 spare.

1 had a leaky valve out of the box. Luckily Aliexpress was able to refund me quickly and i'll just have to order one or 2 more.

Meanwhile i'm supposed to receive my frame next week lol


You should post the pics of it here and on socials since they seem to lurk and steal people's photos. Maybe that'll get them to act.

On the other hand, i think they use a rebranded handlebar from some other company and sell it for like 100$ so it's not that expensive if you ever need to purchase another one and hope that yours was a one off defect....or go with your own handlebar... But i hope you get it resolved somehow
