Have a look at CSC wheels on AliExpress. I recently purchased carbon gravel wheels from them. They have many options and you can select hub, bearings and spokes.
Waiting for my new frame so have not tried the wheels yet, but apart from short bearing life reviews seem positive.

I think the geometry would fit me. Is this frame single mould?

So the frame use eps tech?
Very tempting... Have the issue with play in the front fork been solved?

Hello
I want to replace my old Bianchi vertigo. Im basically looking for an affordable frame with relatively relaxed geometry, flat mount disc brakes, and clearance for minimum 30mm tires (actual measured width)
I like aero look but don't want a heavy or soft frame.
Last but not least I want a frame that is safe and with low probability for issues -like misaligned bottom bracket or brake mounts...
I have seen the hygge model s -and really like the way it looks. After reading about the hygge it doesn't seem to have a lot of problems.
It's rather lightweight and the price, including EU tax and shipping, seem competitive.
ICAN also seem like a relatively safe purchase with competitive prices including eu tax and shipping.
Tideace also offer some t1000 eps frames with reasonable eu prices.
Wouldn't a T1000 EPS frame, all else being equal, be stiffer and or stronger than a T800 frame like hygge -Or is EPS just smart marketing?
Hambini's ICAN frame was very clean. Is that normal ICAN standard or a "hambini special" ?
I would also like to know what affordable (including eu tax and shipping) brand people generally consider most likely not to come with somewhat serious issues?

The rear caliper is screwed directly on my frame without adapter. I don't know if you can install one, sorry.

Edit : Apparently yes :

So if I get a 140mm disc I can mount the rear BR-R7170 directly on the frame?
And use the extra 160mm as replacement when the front disc needs replacement...

6
Yes, mine are 30,5mm and there is enough space.
Im a bit curious what tire model+size and rim width you measured at 30,5mm?

Hello, I'm new at this topic. I was reading it till first page and finally ordered Hygge BOB frameset (L) + elite wheels ent-disc 2.0.
Finnaly it will be mixed with 105 di2 groupset and cl800 rotors. If my weight is around 100kg should i mount 160/140mm or 160/160?
One could argue 160/160 for descending mountains. But im sure 160/140 is perfectly fine.

Those tires will not be a problem
On second thought my 45x30mm wheels is probably not 21 but 23mm internal width.
But apparently gp5000 tires only inflate to nominal width when mounted on wide rims. So 28mm gp5k on 23mm rim should fit the hygge frame, Right?

If you have the Shimano 105 Di2 groupset, you don't need an adaptator. You have to flip the support of the caliper (see pictures).
That is very useful information. Thank you.
The 105 di2 160/160mm groupset I look at includes BR-R7170 calipers. I assume the included 140/160mm "adapter" is actually the support. But the parts list only show 1xFlat-Mount Adapter 140mm/160mm.
So do I need 2xmount adaptors?

I ran 28 mm GP 4 seasons but my external rim was 28 mm (or 29 mm).

Yes for 160 for the front. I didn't try for the rear.
Did you use an adapter to mount 160mm rotor in front?
I'm sorry if this a dumb question, but I never had a bike with disc brakes.
Im guessing I would need two adaptors for 160mm front and rear, but I know some frames does not have sufficient space to use 160mm adapter in the rear. So I'm a little worried if this would be an issue on the hygge frame.
I wouldn't mind 140mm rear rotor -its just that the 2x160mm is the cheapest complete di2 groupset I can find  And with the recent price increase from 1000 to 1100euro di2 already cost a bit more than I planned for my budget china build...

11
I would like to run 28mm gp 5000 clincher tires. My rims are 21mm internal so I guess the actual measured tire width should be about 30-31mm. Would 30-31mm tire fit a hygge disc frame in size L ?

The complete 105 di2 groupset I want includes 160mm rotors (front&rear) + 1pcs 140/160mm flat mount adapter.
Have anyone successfully mounted 160 rotors on this 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
Thank you.
Would shimano SM-BBR60 fit frame and groupset?

13
You would need BSA (threaded) bottom bracket to fit the cranks. If you are purchasing complete groupset, search for the BSA bottom bracket version.
Does shimano offer 105 di2 with bsa bb?

14
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?

15
Does anyone know how to contact hygge-bikes.com ?
I want to purchase model s with integrated 40mm bars, extra hanger and hardware to mount traditional (not integrated) handle bar -so I can try different stem lenghts.
For my location hygge-bikes.com is cheaper than aliexpress but no one seems to monitor their chat function and I can't find any email....
