I just built up mine a 49cm Black on black (basically clear coated raw carbon) with Ultegra DI2, a Cybrei Crank and Elite Drive 50D wheels. Mine came in at 6.9kg with pedals, cages and garmin mount. The frame doesn't have the packaging or fit and finish of the more recent Yoeleo bikes or Winspace (like you said sharp edges but nothing that couldn't be filed down). But dang, even when I tested it with 105 DI2 and the same crank it still came in at 7.1KG. Most ''superbikes'' don't weigh in at that. Great video, nice to see the bike getting some air time on a Canadian channel to boot!
Agreed that it might not have the fit and finish of a Winspace or Yoeleo, but also at a fraction of the cost 👌 glad to see another Canadian with a Hygge. Ride on!
Hey people!! I am the guy that cracked the frame! Just to add on, I had been talking to them about it as I was misinformed on the torque specifications and they are sending me a replacement so I can vouch that they do honour their warranty! All that is need it to pay the shipping cost🥳 great video!
@@Ben.92x mine cracked whilst riding at 7nm as I was told 6-8 however when I told them it cracked they stated that 6.5nm is the highest, I would personally ask them as they have change the seatpost clamp, if not I would go with Henry’s advice of 5nm with plenty of carbon paste, if you do end up asking can you post the torque on here please! What colour did you get? I’m also waiting for my replacement to arrive.
@@RohanRidesBikes thanks so much! I will be asking them a few questions! I went for the S-07 Grey anthracite colour! It’s currently being shipped so due to turn up within the next few weeks!
@@bernardandoh9099 when I built mine I changed the compression plug because I thought the supplied one was useless, after I put that in, the steerer didn’t slip! I think it was called bbb powerhead 👍🏼
I've bought the frame for my son, model 2024... just arrived after, I have 25 years off experience in cycling and 5 years as bike mechanic, this frameset seems high quality, the build will tell me more, you're review convinced me to choose this frame for him... he is going to use this in races.
Ive had that exact frame now for 2 years, built up with 12spd sram force wireless. I love it at this price point its awesome. Small issues seat post slipped until I wrapped with some tape. I just plugged unused cable routing holes with "O" ring rubber I cut down. All in all superb bike and at this price point very hard to beat. Also good communications from Hygge.
@@keithlogan9501 nice! Glad to hear it’s held up for 2 years. I agree it’s a great frame for the price. Did you try carbon paste on the seatpost to prevent it from slipping?
@@henrychungfitness No I didn't try carbon paste as I felt the clamp wedge itself was at the maximum extension limited by the slot in it and decided to increase the diameter of the post. No issue since.
Funny, i use the same frame and same brakes! I had to play around quite a lot with the adjustment of the brakes but once settled up, they brake much much better than rim brakes or other mechanical disc brake.
Agreed, I forgot to mention the front brake needed quite a bit of adjustment in the beginning (not sure if it was due to the rotors, wheel or frame) but it's all good now! Great minds think alike with the build. Happy riding!
About the headset, you need to cut the head tube lower than the face about 3 - 4 mm and when you put the cap in that cap will pull your headset not lose and tight the screw enought for easy turn but dont too lose and it smoth like butter .😊
Thanks! They’re Woods hiking pants but I’m not quite sure what model. They’re perfect commuting/work pants and have extra material at the knee that helps with the cold and wind 👌
Thanks for watching! I find the bike quite stiff as others have mentioned yet still comfortable as well. I commute on my Hygge to work as well and it’s a fun bike. I can’t really compare it to big brands because I haven’t ridden any newer models but I’m sure it could hold its own 🤙
Nice. I think it is common to have a bit of loosening on the handlebar, esp at first. I have had to tighten once or twice, also redo the crank preload once. You bike looks great.
Hi Henry, great vids on this. Waiting on delivery before starting my build. Could you tell me the size holes for the front and read derailleur that you think should have grommets? I've found some online but need to know the hole size - would rather have them ready when the bike arrives than delay the build! Thanks!

Hey Henry, great video. I’m stuck between this and an Elves eglath (an endurance frame), do you find the frame comfortable over longer distances or do you think it feels harsh? I had a trifox X16 before and this will be the crash replacement ;)
Sorry to hear about your crash and X16 and hope you’re OK 👌 the Model S felt harsh initially (compared to the Trifox) but I got used to it. Now it just feels fast 💨. Elves looks good too and I was debating on the Falath but this was the cheaper option. All the best on your choice!

awesome video, man. thanks! by the way, I got my Hygge and I now have about 4 months of riding, but I'm having some issues with play/loose on the headset. by braking the front wheel, I can note a huge play (almost 5cm!!! of movement) and I'm very uncomfortable and concerned with my safety on descents. have you faced these issues? (I got the handlebar 40cm x 130 mm and I'm using all the spacers) I still love the bike =)
5cm of play or 5mm? That’s a big difference, but either way they’re both too much play. You should really stop riding and get it fixed by readjusting the expander plug and handlebar/headset assembly. I’ve torqued my expander plug to 9Nm and handlebar/stem bolts to 6Nm.

I’m just an every day cyclist, but I would consider this an all-around frame (lightweight enough, stiff, fast and even used as my commuter bike to work) 👌
I wouldn’t say this is a replica SL8. Lots of differences in shape of the frame etc, but in terms of cost this far outweighs the performance of the SL8 in my opinion 😂
@@KrolKrol-eb7ly it’s different I would say. The Trifox is a bit more comfortable while the Hygge is more aggressive and stiff. Both are great bikes though
I actually run gp5000 str in a 30mm that measure 32mm on my 24mm internal rim. The 32mm I originally put measured 34mm, and it was kind of ok at the back but to close at the front for a safe ride.

Are the brake housing compressionless? If not the braking can feel soft. They are not cheap but if you use disc brake they are quite essential.
