    SZZS specific CEF50-main thread (initial builds and troubleshooting related only)

    You may want it for other reasons like flashing a replacement controller. AliExpress for $100 +/- to have when/if needed. Nice to have on hand. 👍

    Ebike stands?

    Well, I've got one steel foldable Park (heavy) home-stand and a nice aluminum Spin doctor tripod mobile stand to do hardcore repairs. A cradle stand is just smaller and more convenient at the trailhead or campsite. Or home to just to prop up freestanding (like my feedback rear wheel stand)...

    Ebike stands?

    Yep. But on a cradle-type design stand you can access both wheels without touching the rig if you need to remove the front wheel. Just preferences. Hence, why I referred to it as all-access. Just a matter of what the purpose is. It's fantastic engineering at a reasonable price but just gives...

    Ebike stands?

    Yep. It's been out about a year or so.....super sturdy but no front wheel access. I do like the lightweight all aluminum.👍

    All right. Bravely done!💪

    No hole. Just pools up and or drips into the linkage potentially. I used Phil Woods water proof grease prior to putting the rocker arm back and to help reassemble easier to the tight fit. At least that's what I did to minimize water ingress.🤞

    Review: Changzhou Fieldebikes Co., Ltd. (M510 Carbon Build)

    Looks nice! I like the 840Wh battery. I'm just converting my M600 to 1000 Wh battery and looking forward to hitting more mountainous terrain in the near future.💪

    Ebike stands?

    Yes me too. @scottay is trying a group buy for USA peeps.

    Yeah, I've had to invert (wheelie) off the stand to dump out extra water outta and stick a cloth in there to sponge any remaining. I usually wipe down with a wet cloth unless muddy (which is rare in my area.)👍

    Ebike stands?

    It looks like abt 100 USD, if no VAX (from Italy doesn't use the tax somehow). Sure, $50 would be awesome, but given nothing commercially is out there yet (surprisingly) and that seems a sturdier style while allowing all-wheel/crank access....I'd do a bengy max! Aluminum would lighter and...

    Ebike stands?

    Sweet. I was just getting ready to build up a wooden jig-like stand with a downtube and motor cradle out of frustration. Maybe I won't have to now 😎

    SZZS is the frame manufacturer. Can buy it directly from them via Alibaba.com. Jean seems most knowledgeable over others. Just tell her you're interested in the CEF50. https://x.alibaba.com/AwCm7y?ck=pdp

    ICR Headsets for the SZZS-specific CEF50 build

    Yeah, Mike Kelly and a few others are successfully using the entire NP upper headset assembly...so far no complaints have been voiced 💪

    ICR Headsets for the SZZS-specific CEF50 build

    Mine was definitely aluminum. I got one of the first upgraded ICR headsets in October...so maybe they changed it up when they decided to glue the cups in. Very strange overall.🧐

    ICR Headsets for the SZZS-specific CEF50 build

    Or the bearing is just out of spec. Going from memory here. But when I put the SZZS bearing cup in on my painted frame a little while back, I greased it then press fit by hand fairly easily (easier than the first stock ICR cup). Plus, it popped out very easily when I did the ICR frame conversion...

    Yep, and the engineering team likely chooses the 3rd party fabricator to make the plastic. Same with the headsets, 3rd party. Unfortunately, they still don't seem to work. So, failure on the SZZS team to outsource well ultimately. To be fair they make frames not high precision mechanical...

    SZZS specific CEF50-main thread (initial builds and troubleshooting related only)

    The SZZS engineering team also developed the first and second ICR headset that don't seem to work. So, might be time to try something new. My mod-cover seems to be working. If it fails beyond my repair ability, the next step for me is the custom Rockguardz. Unfortunately, the risk of not...

    You can put a self adhesive silicon armor at the screw tabs to help absorb the shock. Plus,, they're made for carbon frames.👇 Personally, I have carbon covering the plastic at all the tabs. So far, three months in, no frame issues...plus there is no plastic alternative unless Bafang wants to...

    Have a 3rd party make a carbon or aluminum custom one....then do a group buy to save money once they have the dimensions. 👇 Here's one in the UK. https://rockguardz.com/

    Hells yeah!🤟 That would be an awesome video adventure opportunity in some great weather. Could test it doing a stout shorter climb at Whiting Ranch/Laguna Hills, or bigger Santiago Canyon, or even the ultimate climb up the big San Juan trail epic all Orange County rides. Don't forget another...
