I guess it is still in preorder. Maybe some YouTubers have them and are preparing a review? I do not know. Looking forward to seeing them in action!

Hi all,

I have just dipped my toes early this week into the world of the Chinese bike world. I am still very much a noob when it comes to biking. Sorry if what I am about to ask is a very stupid question.

Backstory, is during Covid I bought my first Allez E5 2019. And sold it a couple years after as I had to move cities. I now ride a 2020 Specialized Allez Sprint.

Fork: Tarmac SL6 FACT carbon
Seatpost: Venge Aero carbon
Bars: Enve Aero carbon
Brakes: 105 hydraulic disc
Drivetrain: 105 2x11

More info on frameset here: https://www.specialized.com/ca/en/allez-sprint-disc-frameset/p/171321?color=264799-171321

Are all my parts interchangeable if I get something like the Hygge Model S frame and move everything over? I plan on buying only new Carbon wheels and better tires. Ideally, if I can keep the seatpost, bars, brakes and drive train that would be nice.

Thanks.

I'd say only brakes, drivetrain and crankset. Seat post in propietary. Not sure about fork and handlebars

I've just ordered this crank + spider power meter. Can't wait to install it on my bike

Hi Everyone,

I have a bicycle with a Model S frame from Hygge. In the past few months, three times now the headset spacer has slightly opened up. I'm not sure what could be causing this, but I think it happens when I stand up on the bike to pedal harder.

I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this issue. Also, I'm considering buying new spacers, but I'm not sure which ones to get. Any advice would be appreciated.

Really nice build, love it!. I contacted the store to know if they are going to be producing the 2025 "dogma" F and said in about 3 months.

I bought Magene's QED crankset with direct-mount chainrings before it got pulled from the markets. Horrible experience, Magene bungled the design and they would bend and become permanently deformed from normal pedaling loads. Magene's warranty department was useless and asked me to delete my chinertown thread on the issue to cover up their screw-up. The most I got from this was a new chainring, which bent again. My experience might be part of the reason why that product got pulled from the shelves in the first place.

Even worse, they have a proprietary chainring interface and no aftermarket spider or alternative chainrings, which means I am completely fucked and have a $500 brick of a crankset. In summary, be thankful they learned from their mistakes and aren't making DM chainrings anymore.

I know the spider based PMs are great, PES is great, and their accessories are great, but damn do I feel bitter about Magene after my QED experience.

Hey, seems that is shimano MTB direct mount. There is an adaptor from zrace to 5bolts bcd 110 that you could use.

EDIT: actually it might not fit :(
