Thanks LAnton!
SZZS specific CEF50-main thread (initial builds and troubleshooting related only)
- Thread starter TCFlowClyde

Two differrent motors.
Unfortunately it is the buyers who think a mountain bike should be pretty instead of practical.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.
Cool. I'm back to 1x shoebox full of hangers

2 version 36v and 43v. 36v motor can use 43v battery but will show wrong battery display. vice versa.
But headsets are not spec'ed by the bearing size but the opening in the headset. So the SHIS label for this bike should be ZS56/28.6 upper ZS66/40 lower, correct?

After weeks of harassing Linda to send me pics. She finally did. She said the bike will ship this Friday. So I’m going hold my breath between now and then. Which is a lot because the longest I’ve been able to hold my breath this far has been 32 seconds.
For those who have gotten their frames why are there two holes in the left chainstay?

Brakes and speed sensor I assume.

I think I have found the upper headset I will use.
Made by Token for Nukeproof
It looks like it has 4 very well sealed ports and is ZS56/28.6

Looks quite good. Metal compression ring, good seal for the cables and also sleve, to protect steerer tube from cable rub. Nice.
hey that's the same colour as mine! I told them to leave the rocker pivot black though. Whew, not complete twinsies. Looks like you are in Vancouver... I'm in the Okanagan so we likely won't bump into each other on the trails anyways

Well now you told me that, I'll do all my riding in Canada. I'll just say "hey you see a guy who's got one of these with black thingy-ma-bob right about here?". I'm in Vancouver Washington, so not exactly close, close-ish though. So no concern over me stalking you . I was on the fence about the black rocker. I love the gloss chalk/battleship grey though.

Best design so far I've seen in my limited knowledge of them, and after trying to hunt down these damn ICR headsets the past few months
Yes the idea of water getting in and flowing down into the battery is a nightmare to me.

Yep...even in my normal drier southwest desert conditions, I still want a tight seal if I ever wash my bike down! Plus, I often camp in our local Alpine mountains during the summer season where it rains a lot during monsoon months
...so would prefer not to deluge the headset and compromise the electronics.
I might have to carry a plastic bag to cover it if I can't properly seal the ports on the cover with silicon adhesive tape.
Be aware that many caulking sealant have corrosive agents that help it cure.
As the name suggest, the by-product of cure is acetic acid. Most people carrying out DIY work on showers, baths and kitchens are familiar with acetoxy cure silicone sealants that give off the characteristic odour resembling strong vinegar. This family of sealants dominates the world of silicone sealants because of their extensive use as construction sealants in buildings in such applications as expansion joints, window installations, etc. However, the formation of acetic acid places a restriction on their use in applications where non-corrosion is a prerequisite."

Yes, some are. It is good to understand this chemistry and the different types so that you can make sure you choose an appropriate RTV silicone sealant for your application.

Hot glue gun?
I don't think a hot glue gun will seal around a cable?
That is why I want a headset with rubber seals around each cable.

Orange
Looks nice too.
The yellow and the purple are mine so who belongs to the White/blue one?
Does anybody have a photo of all the headset parts that came with CEF50? The compression ring and topcap with the holes. I can't remember if it was already posted.
I think Tom posted it in the ICR headset thread or I have a shot with the other components in the Spec thread.
I did get this email from Linda showing the top cap filed to reduce risk of cutting the cables.
Yes in the main spec thread about third picture down shows the headset pieces but not in high res.
