I dont know where you are finding a LBS that can identify carbon defects. I bet I could walk into any one of my LBS and no one in the place would have ever heard the word delamination. I went to the LBS closest to me once and asked if they had brake pads fit for a regular shimano road caliper and they took me to their mechanics, and I asked again and they all looked at me with pure confusion.

Well, my local bike shop has two mechanics in each shift and they are dealing with different tiers of bikes - from kids bikes to those that are used in official races so I trust in their knowledge and experience. And if they don't know something they always try to get the information from other sources or from distributors. If you want your customers to be happy and satisfied then you need to go an extra mile. Bikes are expensive nowadays and servicing them is getting more and more complicated so the LBS's need to learn and adapt.

My usual safety test procedure is to ride down a bumpy descent at about 65km/40mi plus speeds. If I survive all the bumps, cracks and corner braking, the carbon is solid! 

What do you think of the quality of the headtube ? Should I be worried for the bearing and safety ?

Hi guys.

I've received my frame and quality control seems not the best...
Would you accept this?

Got me worried..

I would not stress to much about that. Looks like resin peel from the mold and the fibers look intact, so there should be no issues. You can seal this with some automotive 2k resin (fiberglass resin) and be done with it. I would ride this. It is minimal cosmetic defect and has a low potential of failing catastrophically, in my opinion.

Here's my bike build with the Hygge 2024 EPS frame. Paint is obviously custom and I give them high marks for a quality job. They said they'd send me a new, shorter bearing for the issue with the headset gap I mentioned earlier in this thread.  Besides the frame, the crankset and BB is also Chinese, a Ryet and Kactus, respectively. Tires are 30mm front and 32mm rear (as measured) and easily clear, though rear is probably at max width.

I like the name connection with Don Quijote's horse. Wish you a many miles on it!

Hello @everyone 
I ordered a new Hygge bike
I found a useful video with all the technic stuff : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouwtq2pcVHc&t=23s]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouwtq2pcVHc&t=23s
I'm curious about the weight of the frame without the fork/handlebar/seatpost, could you help me ?
Thanks to Hygge Chinertown family & friends.

This is size dependent, mine in size S with thru axle, front and rear hanger mounted was 1040-1050g and it was not the EPS version. EPS may be slightly lighter.

Anyone riding the rim brake version?

There is a 160usd difference.........Tempted jus to get the rim brake version and save the money for some decent wheels.

Any advice?

Yeah, why you would go for rim brake on a new bike is a mystery to me....

Basically to use my spare carbon wheels which are all rim brake. I also have a mechanic rim brake groupset. If I was to buy a dics brake bike I'd have to get a groupet and wheels.

What is the braking like with the internal cabling going inside the cockpit?

Would you mind posting a photo of your bike to have a look? I only see dics brake ones here :-(

Hi everyone!
Does anyone have experience with Hygge wheels? I'm considering buying Hygge frameset and wheelset pro version - on paper, they look pretty good...

Also interested to hear in people's experience with their wheels.

Which model are you looking to buy? The one with carbon spokes?

Yes, exactly this wheelset - Shun Pro version. The weight, appearance, and price are perfectly fine. I'm wondering about the quality?
Maybe someone owns it and can share their opinion?
