Do you have full picture of the adapter itself? Assuming you are going with 160mm rotors (and flat mount calipers), that doesn't look like Shimano's or any other common flat adapter, may be try with a different adapter before you dremel some part of it?

It's LTwoo hydraulic 160mm adaptor.

Yeah, the adapter seems to be the problem then... No problem with the standard adapters...

Did you use Ultegra 160mm for the front Tidy?

I would be more interested in seeing a review of a Light carbon frame you as we expect the frame to be of similar quality  as Yishun.

I'd like to see your view compared to your other bikes

This is the main reason why I would choose Hygge over LightCarbon if I were to give in and review another cheap frame. I have confidence in believing LC's quality is identical to Yishun.

What makes companies like VeloBuild, Rinasclta, and ICAN attractive to new customers in the cheap Chinese world, is their ability provide a somewhat brand-like shopping experience while offering custom paint with logos. My VeloBuild videos are among my most watched videos for this reason.

Marketing ethics aside, I really like what Hygge is doing as a brand. Excellent paint/decal options and it appears to be decent quality. The price point is good too.

If I understand correctly, Hygge offers excellent paint and decals. But Lightcarbon as well. Check the Gravel bike from Hambini or this LCR0X-D in frozen blue with their logo in silver.

Here are all the colors Lightcarbon offers: https://www.lightcarbon.com/decal-painting_n43
and you can combine multiple colors as well.

I think you would even be happier knowing you can customize the paint on your rims with ProX Carbon [their wheels branch].

Ah indeed I have had seatpost issues, I wanted to put that in the original post but forgot!

So yeah, I had the seatpost disappear into the frame twice very early on.  How I fixed it is I sanded all sides of the clamp and applied grip paste but I think the thing that got this sorted was I applied loctite to the clamping bolt and then tightened it to 10Nm.  I've had over 100 trouble free Km since then.  I think the issue is the bolt just loosens up,  with the loctite I haven't seen the problem again.  I fed this back to Hygge and they actually have a new clamp design (picture attached), I'm not convinced that it will fix the issue as the new clamp adds a new grip to the side that grips the seat post, I'm sure it will help some but I think the loctite is the one.  I have told them I recommend having a captive nyloc nut on the underside, this would alleviate the issue.

And yeah, it's a lovely bike - I'm really happy with it so far and looking forward to spending more time with it.

Have you had any further issues with the seat post? I saw you said you went to 10nn, however someone in a comment on the Henry Chung YouTube review commented they did theirs to 6.5nm and it cracked the frame.  He hasn't said how it ended up with Hygge in terms of any replacement.

Wow, that's scary... I had to do mine @ 6nM to get it to stop sagging... 5nM was not enough.
I'm only 64kg so I guess there is less risk of cracking...

I just looked at the review on YT and there is no comment like what you said... Could it already be removed?
