Cassette removal tool is easy to hold the chainring.Folks, when you remove the front chainring spider lockring, how do you lock the spider in place to keep it from spinning? I feel bad having to tension the chain and wheel so much for this...

Yes, I find it's a tad more tight for my SZZS headset. I do by feel with a small socket wrench to minimize over torquing and then back off a hair rather than my bigger torque wrench.Anyone has any problem with bike headset bolt torque, my need to be tighten alot higher then normal
I was afraid of something like this, but haven’t had any issues. Only thing missing is the battery information, charge cycles etc. Battery percentage can be seen on the display, but that is probably straight from voltage.For those of you with diy batteries. What do you do about the battery canbus? Originally I was sent the wrong cable and there was nothing to plug my battery canbus into. This made my bike go to a deep sleep after about an hour. I had to plug it into the charger to wake it up. Do those of you with diy batteries suffer from this too then?
Is the height of the Zeb so much higher than the Lyrik?Hi evrybody. I want to build a lightweight e-bike with a 48V 480WH battery. Question about the fork... If you think about weight, then RockShox Lyrik Ultimate is preferable, but there are problems with the bb height and the frame itself is designed for a stroke of 170 - and this already presupposes ZEB Ultimate 170...
What do you recommend for a light e-bike ZEB or Lyrik?
Another question about forks: is it necessary to choose E-optimized or is it acceptable to take a regular model?
What problems with bb height you have in mind? I use Yari upgraded to Lyrik Ultimate 170 and it performs fine. This was also the most cost-effective option. I guess the difference between Lyrik and Zeb of the same stroke is mainly the stanchion diameter, which affects stiffness and weight, so Lyrik will be slightly less stiff and lighter. I didn't care about e-optimized, the bike is not much heavier than the typical enduro bike.Hi evrybody. I want to build a lightweight e-bike with a 48V 480WH battery. Question about the fork...

Recently there have been many reports of the destruction of engine protection. I attributed this to the fact that the bike becomes lower with a 160 mm fork. I'm not a young rider anymore)) 160 mm travel suits me better. I won’t jump from jumps and bike parks are rare here. Rather, these are dynamic descents along winding mountain paths created by cows and sheep - our local trail bidders)) Stone sections are sometimes encountered, but I do not prefer a neat descent along them to a fast flight))What problems with bb height you have in mind?

Your build really fascinates me. I would love to know the full build specs. Truly incredible getting that spec under 20kg!I try lyrik ultimate before then swap to fox 38, my bike handling feel totally different. Will be getting ohlin 38 this weekend. Hopefully will feel better. Lyrik n zeb weight difference only 200 gram. I will go for zeb after test out lyrics for 1 months. Again its all depends what of trail u are riding. My its mostly technical with lot of rock. 30% sag n use up 80% travel most of the time. So i stiffness allow me to more confident.

greeting. do you have any picture of the cover?Our favorite cover is provided by Jean. I haven't tried to print it yet.
Ah, the engine cover... I think this is rather the problem with poor engine cover design (gen 1 & 2). I don't know how gen 3 will perform in this regard, but there seems to be a hope that it could be fixed. I wouldn't link this to any particular fork, I guess people install bash guards in analog bikes for the same reason. I expect this to happen mostly with wrongly timed jump over the log or rock, not during the regular descent.Recently there have been many reports of the destruction of engine protection.

The weight is roughly the same as the regular Yari - Charger weights approximately the same as Motion Control, the same for DebonAir C1. My Yari/Lyrik weights 2.05kg.What is the weight of the fork in ruseltate? Did you get a new fork and upgrade kit or was the fork used?
yari and lyrik have the same chassis, the difference is in the interior. I bought a new zeb select 29 170mm MY 2023 for 250 eur, weight 2.2kg. I, with 93 kg and an ebike, ride Zeb at 45 psi. the fork works great.The weight is roughly the same as the regular Yari - Charger weights approximately the same as Motion Control, the same for DebonAir C1. My Yari/Lyrik weights 2.05kg.
I bought a new Yari RC during black weekend sales for ~369$, upgrade kit for ~380$, this is approx. 2/3 price of a new Lyrik Ultimate C3
First i upgrade my carbon to T800 grade initially was 700 standard that was 200 gram saving then include carbon 480wh battery.Your build really fascinates me. I would love to know the full build specs. Truly incredible getting that spec under 20kg!
Can we 3D print out using ABS material? Since abs its flexible but i am not sure about abs 3D print. If the same as our car bumper, i am sure it will last.On the CEF50 motor covers. Since they're custom fit SZZs plastic cover, it's not the more durable Bafang plastic apparently, I and others went with DIY upgrade options.
I choose to take my broken Gen 2 cover and layer carbon fiber over it. So far, 3 months of rocky roll overs and step-ups that would have obliterated Gen 1 and 2 and likely 3, it still exists with only minor scratches.
I argue that it might worth it to find a professional fabricator that already makes E-mtb bashguards either in the US/CAN and/or the EU to taylor make a true bash guard to fit over the SZZS plastic cover which helps shed dust and water from the electronics and motor mount space.
It could be either aluminum or carbon. I suggest to get a dozen CEF owners together from this group thread and be willing to pay the fabricator $50-100 USD to make a batch. I recommend someone take the lead and get a few peeps (6 minimum) on either continent and get an upgrade to end the worries of the poor quality SZZS motor cover material.
As @mike_kelly has suggested in the past, we are ultimately a DIY group. Use the power of interested parties to leverage collective consumer purchasing power to create a much needed, durable upgrade!
Most won't have access to a 3-D printer. Doubt the quality could get the durability needed.Can we 3D print out using ABS material? Since abs its flexible but i am not sure about abs 3D print. If the same as our car bumper, i am sure it will last.

I broke the engine cover on my second ride. I didn't hit it directly, but the tree branch that the front wheel rolled up broke it, so I don't think there's any point in worrying about it. It will definitely break. lolRecently there have been many reports of the destruction of engine protection. I attributed this to the fact that the bike becomes lower with a 160 mm fork.

170 mm is spec for 29er on the CEF50. Mine is a 27.5 + tire and get a comparable AC. It's taller. So,I knew I could go up to over-stroke it to 180. Plus, I overstroked the rear to 165 mm (a minor controversy in this thread ). All goooood 8 months in.Hi Yozha
In the first place, the recommended fork length for CEF50 is 572mm according to AtoC. For a 29er fork, a 160mm stroke is best.
I use a 160mm ZEB and have no problems with handling and stability. The BB height is now 345mm.
same for me. on one side it seems to be tightened higher than usual, on the other I know there's a piece of plastic inside that will eventually deform. setting this right is very problematicAnyone has any problem with bike headset bolt torque, my need to be tighten alot higher then normal
