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

[thaeber]

Yep, like 99.9% of the shocks available in the market; the main diff is that these ones its quite easy to change the stroke

Thanks mate. Never did that with a shock (no reason, more travel is always better ). Just did this on forks, and here its the other way round. Fork will not fully extend, with effect on installed length….

If this is the problem, just treat the carbon like You would do with aluminum. Take a file an rework the area. I doubt it will weaken the part seriously. There is no force or sideload to be considered in this area imho.

Even if you could modify to fit 210x55 can it still run a 29" wheel without hitting the seat tube at full compression?

So, literally file or shave off this part of the carbon/alloy (?) rocker arm down (in red) to allow more rotation at this pivot point? This prevents binding and increases travel and should allow the 55 stroke to work?

Oh wow! I'm still processing no crossbar in the linkage. Blind spot I guess.

Buy a spare rocker arm to play with.
or Ask them to modify it for you (if they haven't sent it yet)
or both

Yeah, that's what I was also thinking! Request a spare.

But for now, I'll try to fit the 210x55 to see what happens, take a pic for "science" with the expectation I'll have to "down" stroke it to 52.5 mm.

ICR is truely a ridiculous trade for cosmetics.

A third party battery can not talk to the canbus at all, unless it is a Bafang compatible device.

Does this mean that you don't know how much %battery is remaining?

 

[mike_kelly]

Yes, unless since the motor talks canbus to the display, the motor senses the battery data and it gets sent to the display via the motor connections. The folks here making DIY batteries can relate whether they are seeing the battery status info on their displays or not.

I think it is better CEF50 factory to make 205 trunnion version.

Maybe doubt they would redesign it.

So your battery meter works on the DPC 244 display then with your 504Wh battery?

Looks like it!

how's the cable routing from battery to motor?

 

[LAnton]

how's the cable routing from battery to motor?

The length of the cables is 650mm. The cable is routed through a hole in the frame at the place where the upper bar is attached with 2 bolts.

 

[Myalteregohamish]

Is there any known headset that works with this frame?

Was there a response here, it looks like it may not have been posted.

 

[mike_kelly]

It was sarcasm. I know of only one headset that will fit, by Acros, let alone an angle set.

You know I’m usually pretty hip to this sort of thing. I stepped all over you cracking wise . Thanks for the response either way.

 

[mike_kelly]

Acros actually makes an angle set in ZS52/66 but the frame must be made to use it. It appears to have two pins sticking down which would auto align it but still the wrong size.
Dead pan humor does not translate well thru google either so I should cease and desist.

No don’t, I’ll be all alone then. Although if I had a dime for every time some one didn’t get my dry sense of humor I wouldn’t be in this forum trying to figure out how to build a 2k emtb.

It's time for some Big Foot humor while @stuff gets his CEF50 build up and running

Or this bike jump gone funny wrong-nobody hurt!

I guess there are somethings worse than deadpan humor eh?

This is "physical" slap-stick, comedy while we wait for our frames!,

@LAnton I like your stem cap clock!

Looks like I'll need 2 x shoeboxes for CEF50. One full of hangers, the other full of headsets

Seriously, who makes these decisions? Proprietary hangers and obscure headsets!
Headset cable routing I can live with (just) but at least use commonly available components FFS.
This is insanity.

Totally agree, it's like driving on the wrong side of the road or something. Sheesh!

 

[forsa355]

wondering... are there two versions of the M820 motor? One 43v and one 36v? Or is there only one motor that is compatible with both 43v and 36V? i.e. can you switch between batteries of different voltages on the same motor?
