Hi! I tried offset bushings to fit CC DB kitsuma - but it doesn't fit the v1 frame.
Penso che la camera d'aria sia troppo larga, i 2mm\1.5mm che ti dà offset non sono sufficienti, nella versione Cef 50 v2 o
v B come la chiama il produttore va anche senza offset della boccola

I think the air chamber is too wide, the 2mm\1.5mm it gives you offset is not enough, in the Cef 50 v2 or v B version as the manufacturer calls it also goes without bushing offset

Hi, while I'm waiting for the frame to be shipped, I'm checking where to buy the components I'm missing, I found this Fox x Performance 205x60 shock absorber with travel reducers, I could bring it to 50/52.5 by fitting offset bushings, I'd get to 209mm, what say, it could be fine, it costs €160 at a discount

Bro 205 eye2eye it's totally impossible for u to install it on cef50 as I have fox float X2 in my garage not using almost 2 years. Why impossible it's because the mount design it's totally different from 210. Cef50 use eye2eye 210. Your picture it's 210 NOT 205 design.

First, thanks for all the massive info here I decided to jump on the DIY train. I've built up many bikes, but this will be the first ebike build. Just waiting on my frame to be delivered. They were nice enough to send me video of everything hooked up and working perfectly. Also got ports cut for cable routing because I'm not dealing with headset routing. That's a deal breaker for me.

Lanton, Your batteries look excellent! I am interested in building my own batteries, my motor is the Bafang 43v m820. I currently have a 43v 11.4AH 410WH which I may have to repair or replace. Would you be willing to provide a list of equipment/supplies you used to make those batteries, as well as a ‘how to’ guide?
Thanks
If you read all 150 pages of this story. You will become a true professional in the construction of CEf50. I can advise you to make a 48V battery. Your engine will become a little more powerful. You will completely drain the battery. With Smart BMS, you can control the battery capacity and voltage.

Now you can install a 170mm long dropper on a frame with a size of M
I wish i have listened to you 😭

Guys i have an issue with my m820. It does a strange noise on my right cranck when i'm at ~70°. Only when the motor is powered on

Other issue : I have some vibrations at very low cadence but high torque. Is it normal ?

Other issue : I was on a hill, and my motor started to make a LOT of noise (Low cadence, high torque). It was the first and only time i heard it. What caused it ?

L size, yes 170 mm AXS fitted perfectly
Frame size M. A 175mm long Magura Vyron MDS-V pin.3. There were no problems under my height of 175mm, he entered to the end. I had to remove the bolts to secure the charger. The biggest problem is with MAgura. The quality is very poor. The lid on the manette immediately broke, I had to tape it up. The pin is made of thin iron. When I tighten the frame more than 2H, the pin stops moving out normally.

5A and 10A batteries on DMEG 21700 cells. I don't have any diagrams. 1st layer of shrink wrap. The second layer is 0.5mm carbon fiber, handmade. The 3rd layer is heat shrink. Check out the messages earlier I posted photos of batteries.

I just noticed one of the gaskets in the suspension hinge has broken. These gaskets are made of aluminium and seem to be very fragile. I was very careful not to overtorque them when assembling the bike so I used calibrated torque wrench set to 12Nm. Seems like the material fatigue. Thankfully, there are 2 spare gaskets in the kit from SZZT. Anyway, just to remind you, be very careful with those aluminium gaskets and better order several spares just in case, to have uninterrupted fun.

Yep, I didn't like 'em...junk! Especially as a heavier rider.

Probably can find a local machinist in your area to make aluminum mating bolt. The OEM thrubolt (pin) is good, which is most of the cost.

Likely get high-grade 7075 Al for $20-25 per X 6 = $120-150. 💸 Maybe half that much with 6061 Al, so $60-80 instead?

Bonus...never lose the beveled washer which is hard to replace.🍻

I don't think that will work. It is a serial cable. I think the only thing that works is a bluetooth connection to a handlebar device like the 245v3.

This is the answer to the question of compatibility

The M820 can be used, but the DPC245 does not have a USB plug,
so you need to plug the USB into a computer or charger for 5V power
