Too heavy, how much does it weight with the carbon rocker link and no paint?

I have had a creak with this frame for months. After re-installing the bottom bracket twice with lots of grease and greasing the linkage bolts it still persists. The main linkage bearings are crunchy already but they seem to be impossible to remove (as if they're glued in). I ended up breaking the bolt that attached the rear shock (see photo). I contacted Airwolf about this and they told me that the bearings should not be removed and that a replacement bolt for the rear shock mount would be $25. I am unable to get the replacement bolt from a local Specialized shop, the only remedy seems to be purchasing a complete hardware kit (https://www.performancebike.com/specialized-epic-evo-suspension-pivot-bolt-kit-black-s200500003/p1237090?gad_source=1)

Overall my experience with this frame and Airwolf has been much worse than expected. The first time I built a bike using a Chinese frame I had great luck, this time the poor quality control has made me rethink ever doing this again.

Got my frame today. All lookig good but i will keep my eye on a small defect at the top headcup. Can be that they didn't sand it down there from the manufactory

Not gonna lie I’d send an email on that. It looks more than just sanding

that's a pretty gangster build for a commuter bike! i especially like the mullet big ring + huge MTB cassette. What group & gearing are you running?
For the bearings, can't help, i'd ask tantan directly

Thank you  :). It was not itended to be a commuter bike. But it is so much fun, that I haven‘t ridden my actual commuter bike in half a year.
It is a SRAM rival AXS groupset (46 chainring) and a GX eagle derailleur (10-52 casette). Works well.

Is the EDS TX coming with pre installed brake pads?

And also: my frame only supports 140mm front and back discs. Will this be compatible with the EDS TX?

This looks very much like a FBA design .... update / alternative to the 909?

"As for the 1625g carbon frame itself – designed in Czechia, manufactured in Portugal"

Do you know what measurements all the rear suspension bearings are?

Maybe it has to do with the batches in which the frames were made. Maybe the first set of batches didn't have it and the most recent ones have it. It's the only logic I can find (supposing it's not frame size)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.

I reported the problem with the FD Hanger (with Shimano mechanical FD) to Wendy. She said that she give this information to their engineer. So maybe if they think it necessary, they'll make some changes here too.
