Do we have max seatpost insertion depths for the Teewing Flux yet?

@Greg Watts Do we have max seatpost insertion depths for the Teewing Flux yet? I saw a figure for the Medium in one of the Teewing threads, but the thread is so long I didn't have time to dig through the rest of it yet. The official geometry tables on the brand's site don't list this measurement. Due to the kink in the seat tube, it seems like it's sub optimal, so a few CM one way or the other could make a big difference.

@TheKaiser I've got a confirmed figure for the Medium but that's about it so far.

The Flux Medium has a max seatpost insertion depth of 243mm, per @iamandisykes. Given that the Turbo Force Medium was 250mm and the Flux Medium seat tube is roughly 5mm shorter, that tracks. You're right that the kinked seat tube is the limiting factor here, and it's a common annoyance across a lot of Avinox-platform bikes. @Rideit noted the Amflow Medium is similarly limited at 250mm, only fitting a OneUp 180mm dropper.

For the Large and Small, I've got nothing confirmed yet. One community estimate put the Medium at 250-260mm based on frame proportions, which turned out slightly optimistic once someone actually measured it, so I'd be wary of extrapolating. Given how much difference even 10-15mm makes for dropper selection on a kinked seat tube, you really want measured numbers rather than guesses.

If you're eyeing the Large for your next build, it might be worth pinging Teewing directly or waiting for someone on the forum to stick a ruler in one. @Blownoutrides made the fair point that brands should publish BB-to-lower-insertion-limit rather than just insertion depth, which would make dropper sizing far less of a guessing game. Teewing, if you're reading this: hint taken.
