Quite the email from Darren at drip this morning. Makes me wonder if people who did get their frames already will have to be recalled? Or maybe shipping is just that much faster to Australia which seems to be the only place that has them already and those were fixed ones. Sounds like that could be the case. Glad my order was a custom build so it should be frame only and in that earlier shipment (Hopefully).
What was the deal with the email, and what is the story with the potential problem, that would necessitate a fix/recall? I have seen a few references online, but no details. I've been waiting for some more real world user experiences to come in before ordering one myself, and if there is going to be a big delay due to needing to fix a flaw in the frame, then that will potentially figure into my calculus.

I'm curious as well. Still not sure if I want to pay in full just to wait 6-8 weeks, but if there are other issues I may just wait. This has been a terrible rollout for the new Avinox bikes.
 
My large was one of the delayed frames but it was only delayed 2-3 weeks, hardly dramatic.
Are people experiencing longer delays?

This is all they said “a recall issue with the Flux. It didn’t effect every Flux, but all of our bikes were recalled because we had the very first production run. The issue with the motor mount bolt on the frame, as Teewing moved the production run to a new factory”

So something that was caught very early on with a subset of frames, doesn’t sound like any affected bikes got into anyone’s hands, at least not in the US.

Hello! Can you show the full text of the letter you received? Thanks!
 
Ok. I'm sick of waiting for the full cover Ride Wrap to arrive. Still listed as waiting in design.

So I've patched the graphics with a sheet of Ride Wrap I bought 2 years ago, to protect the most vulnerable areas. Fitted ride wrap on the fork lowers. Fitted the mudguards. Fitted the Water Bottle. And I've booked in with some of the most technical riders in my club, for this Saturday.

It's time to get it very dirty. The Flux will be put through its most thorough test. Full report to come. I'll try and get some pics.

Is that a Medium?
 
Thx. If it speeds up the process, I would be very appreciative. Just so many man hours in the graphics. Hate to damage it. But I've had the bike 4 weeks, and only ridden it on concrete.
Already had a message back saying its in the works and they don't need to see this frame. So hoping it's done soon (as I need a kit too) 🤣

Well done on the rig, looking great primed ready to roll...... has it been 4wks.

While iv been pretending to be patient knowing the outlaw Flux frame committed to interrogation stranded in isolation.... 4wks yeah.... but hell yeah better than 6months.... 👊

Yep! The wait is over, received news this arvo from Pushys, NSW Certification on Flux is over, freedom to soon attend the labours of ploughing the elements of stone and dirt..... Y E ⚡⚡⚡
