Glad you got your frame, but only reporting back what Teewing told me. Hopefully someone from Teewing will come along and clear things up, but either way, you should enjoy that once you hit the trails

@Teewing Bikes I think your current offerings are the right general idea, but you should consider offering a "racing version" of this bike with more eXC focused parts just like your racing team build. Also chuck in the new Shimano 9-45T cassette for high speed in places like the US that can use it. I'd have absolutely prefered to buy direct if that was an option (where I didnt have to downsize/replace all the rest of the components/drivetrain).
From all my other dyi ebikes a <3.5-3.8 top gear ratio on a 29er is ideal for being able to bike on road to the trails. (Equiv to 38-42 : 11). This lets you spec either 36 or 34 up front and still offer much less than 1:1 on the steep inclines.

Yeah not your fault ofc, plus they said it even in the chat here. Just not... true...Glad you got your frame, but only reporting back what Teewing told me. Hopefully someone from Teewing will come along and clear things up, but either way, you should enjoy that once you hit the trails
They had similarly misleading marketing claims [tried to pretend to be a canadian brand] about the organization to the NA press at whistler so its unfortunate that they are so keen on idk... whatever this is...

I'm sure they won't, it's probably in everyone's best interest not to directly admit to it and give up the supplier. LC likely has an NDA preventing them to ever say it, and if the relationship did ever change, Teewing wouldn't want that to be known etc. I could just tell based on the paint pattern of the brown frame and the sort of shiny foil effect on the logo which are both paint designs I've seen LC do that it likely had to be them.Glad you got your frame, but only reporting back what Teewing told me.

But if anything it's good to know and reassuring that they have a quality frame OEM; most people into DIY bikes know LC frames and know they make good stuff.

I just looked in further detail and realized the bolt for the bottom of the shock even says Teewing on it
. So that settles that weird debate.I wonder if LC will ever even list it on their website as a frame for sale or if Teewing will put a stop to that. Seems very weird how nobody has been sent any pics or geo charts in a public place of it.

Teewing has geo measurements on their website so that works. I may have asked not to have logo painted on my bike, but kinda regretting that now that I saw how nice the logo'd black sparkle looks compared to my simple gloss black. But I'll survive just fine.

More unfortunate was that the brake and shock mounts were not faced (and the lower shock mount in particular needed it), but obviously that only takes a small bit of work to take care of. I assume the teewing official ones would have done that, or if I specifically asked for it, it would have been taken care of.
I dont have great photos and am away from home this week (so sad, I only got to open the frame Saturday), but it looks really clean on the inside. The cable routing is well tucked and thought out. Impressed overall.

Yeah I get Teewing has the measurements, but when they were denying the frame was LC it would beg the obvious questions of what the LC frame's geo was. Now we can obviously see they're one in the same so you can just go there to find it.
What do you mean by being faced, just being ground down a bit to have a nice flat spot for the shock/brakes to mount against?
curufinwe_wins

Yeah basically that. The shock mount is pretty tight (which is a good thing overall), but that meant that paint overspray prevented fitting of the shock assembly until I faced it. I would recommend facing it anyways because the paint is soft and what you find then is that the parts wear irregularly (and off camber) into the paint and potentially cause misalignment of whatever is mounted to them.

I didnt buy full bike. Bought frameset + motor + battery. You wouldnt want it preinstalled because you need to remove motor and battery to wire up brakes, dropper, and drivetrain. Ill make a build log later post when I'm back home. Came in two boxes.
Also kinda weird, it doesnt seem like you can directly charge the battery even if you do remove it. I tried but nothing happened.

Looks pretty close to a fuel exe to me. But with Moar power and battery!
My mate has one and it rides well. The only time my 180/180mm crestline had the edge was in the super chunk on grade 5+ trails. This is the bike my boy raced an enduro race in China and won. So by all accounts they are a descent offering.
DJI is a a powerhouse but burns battery in the standard settings. My mate burnt a 800wh battery in the time I burnt a 600wh. I'm convinced that, that's just setting adjustment.

Hadn’t even noticed it’s so close to a clone of the Fuel before.

On that topic, I was actually really worried before I got the bike that the front triangle would be too small for my desired waterbottle + lock/small bag combination, but even in a size M, it looks like it easily clears 2 waterbottles (one central set on the downtube and another on the top tube). Ill double check as I'm putting it together though.
Owners who are receiving bikes from LC, it could be worth posting in this thread

Look what has fallen onto my bike rack!... my boy has been sponsored a Teewing to race in the legends enduro series.
We did a 1400mtr vert 41km ride yesterday in torrential rain practicing for the enduro. My boy had 28% left after that. We did most of hills in eco/trail. The bike must ride OK because I only get to few corners before the boy dissappears on me these days....
Anyway ill get some time on the bike in the few weeks. So fire any questions you might have.
i have requested to ship to france and he propose only complete amflow bike ?
Awesome , Im very close to getting one as well.
Waiting!I do have a 27.5in rear wheel and tyre to fit, and will add my thoughts in an upcoming updated video, along with my overall final impressions of the bike. So keep an eye out for that
Lets see some pics of him and the Wing in action racing!

Hi everyone, I've been riding the Teewing Turbo Force now for around 5-6 weeks so have posted a longer-term review of the bike on here. Let me know if you have any questions of comments

Great review, how do you compare it to the Amflow in terms or overall ride/feel? They seem near identical in geo so I figured they’d be very similar, but would be good to know first hand.

I’m amazed, it seems like everyone has done a review with those by now. Just figured you had with all the riding you do.I've not ridden an Amflow

I should jump on one to get an idea of how they ride. The last Avinox bike I rode before this was the Commencal SX which is incredible
