Thanks guys. QS it is then. Now to pick from the plethora of other options.

I am not sure what Cedrick has planed for you but i found fitting the wires out of my cromotor past the nyx swing arm quite a challenge. You may want to see my build thread.... https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=74615

The wire harness coming out of a QS205 v3 will be even thicker as the phase wires are bigger than the cromotor.

Is Cedrick offering you a wider dropout than 150mm?

Hi,

we built 2 NYX Ebikes using the QS and you are right : those big wires are quite a challenge, but we found a way to force the wires in a certain direction (using special washer we made) on our standard 150mm dropout swingam. Unfortunately, those 2 ebikes are already at customer's place, but if we have the opportunity to build robohead's NYX E-bike, we will for sure put some pictures online.

Thanks,
Cedrick

Hi Cedrick, thanks for posting the info. It is inevitable that people purchasing this high end frame will want a high end powerful motor too, so its good you are sorting out solutions to the wire placement for harnessess that come straight out of the motor hub.

Why not try to freehand it for us, just keep it simple. Like on a napkin or the back of an envelope?
If you can remember the shape of the washer it should be doable to re construct the washer, yes?
Or of course if you so prefer do it in Solidworks

A little guiding would go along way.

Those are the washer we did for NYX EBike using a mxus hub motor, but the idea is the same for the QS motors, just bigger washers and holes.

Macribs,

I still haven't ordered mine because I still need to learn a bit more myself but this is what I've gathered so far to the best of my understanding...I am not sure if I need a "Zero Stack" (semi-integrated) yet.

I believe that is an "Integrated" Headset which is known due to the "IS" in the model name. ("EC" is an abbreviation for "External Cup" & "ZS" refers to "Zero Stack" which are each threadless and require to be pressed into the frame). The 41mm should be referring to the Forks crown race size (the race is where the bearing sits and should have a matching OD.

-Do you have a straight fork or a tapered (larger flanged bottom)?
-Does your frame have smooth bore all the way through (no places for the bearings to sit), or do you have a lip?
-I would be happy to search around for you while I look for mine. Luckily in your case there are several more Vector owners to date that may be able to offer a quicker response or better insight. If you have a picture that may be helpful or if you are able to answer those two questions I may be able to determine what your frame requires quicker.

I realize that this is an old thread, but I was researching the NYX and came across this site. I found a similar e bike on FB for sale that looks exactly like this one, which gave me concerns. Was your NYX stolen after you built it? There are parts missing on this one, key missing, battery stolen, rear shock missing, no paperwork etc. just a lot of red flags. Thanks.
