Awesome!🤟 Finally a viable, professional work-around...hopefully!🤞 Thank you so much for your willingness to travel for the team effort.🍻 Hopefully, there are nice trails to ride near their shop or along the way.

Oh sweet!👊 Here's their shop address just in case: ROCKGUARDZ, UNIT 2, WEIRBROOK HOUSE, NR WEST FELTON, SHROPSHIRE, SY11 4ES

Not me but a few have on their frames based on build pics.

Looks great!👑

Haha! New update on custom CF guard outsourcing.. I sent a pic of Calvinty's 4 high-end componentry CEF50s and asked again if Rockguardz could help. Here's is Ian's reply: Anybody in UK or Europe (close to UK such as France😉) mind traveling to the Rockguardz shop with their CEF build? Or...

I like the idea and process, but the art of it all is fabricating the mould (as you already stated). Did I understand that correctly? Otherwise, clever idea for the small fabrication shop. It would be a challenging DIY work-around👊

I didn't encounter any issues...the upper cup bearing assembly was a snug fit for my Hope ZS56 bearing/cup assembly. I tapped it with a 2x4 pine wood block. My frame should be from the same mould but never was headset pre-glued as an early first batch customer. So, hoping specs will be...

Good news/bad news. Update on CF motor guard fabricators. Good in that the responses were concise but quick in reply. From Rockguardz.com. Sensing some Bafanger hate here maybe?😝 From AVSracing.com: Oh well, I tried! I guess I got to be happy my carbon overlay/plastic workaround.👇

Sure on some. Not on all. This Cube E-mtb looks fairly close to the CEF50. It's definitely piggybacked onto the the Cube OEM guard plastic, but a complete shell with internal "trusses" could be added. Honestly, I think just a CF shell would with an extra layer along the underside would work. It...

I'd argue, and think most emtbers too, that it should be able to handle a direct hit on punchy ascents. It's not the same as a crash impact from a hard landing or failed descent. I can only speak for myself, I'm a very good technical climber, 35 yrs + mtber...the SZZS guard is amazingly weak...

For those that want a CF pattern.😎

Good idea💪....but i'd consider covering ALL the underside and side fairings. A few of us had the motor guard completely shatter into ten pieces plus just on soft branches/wood step-ups. Check out last July and August of last year on this thread.🍻

Quick followup since there seems to be some legitimate interest. I just emailed one European (AVSracing.com) and one UK (Rockguardz.com) CF guard fabricator with this: Hi, Can you folks make a custom CF motor guard. I belong to an online user group for a Bafang motor carbon frame called the...

Bottom line: it protects.👊

The CAD-file could be helpful. 👍 But probably easier/cheaper to just buy another SZZS plastic guard instead of 3-D printing it up.

Yes, I imagine some challenges are in order. I detailed several CF motor guards in UK and one in the US in August of last year and then later in November/December. I think a CF layup is the way to go. They're all handmade. A working prototype from one of these two bike shops (especially the UK...

See you've got 4 on board for a bundle group order... what's the manufacturer minimum for initial design batch? I thought a CAD scan of the OEM plastic guard would facilitate. Lastly, more than $100/USD/unit would be my limit for the initial batch. Ideally, subsequent orders would be $50...

💯 smart idea!

No worries. If it seems viable, the first or second iteration typical looks like a crude prototype. Just keep refining it. Sounds like you've made a third creative option.. Reminded about the adage of necessity, and the mother of invention. Admittedly, I' have only basic experience with my CF...

Yep...it's a definite manufacturer flaw. No remedy on the horizon. A few of us have done workarounds. One did an Aluminum plate guard. I did a carbon fiber patch and reinforcement. I posted all that here last December. Both are functional still as I understand it. I had a small crack a few...
