Well, it's supposed to be a 110mm travel frame

But in all seriousness, I got a used, excellent condition Transition Spur (120mm travel) frame with a Fox Factory DPS shock for less.

Well, you were very lucky.
In my area (Central Europe) there is no chance of buying a used frame at the price of a frame from China, unless the frame is stolen.
The only frames you can buy at such prices are frames with old geometry.

Can you share the following:

- The sellerr
- Link to hardware used
- Shock size
- Shock tune

Purchased from airwolf.
shock size 190 x 40mm (sag 30%), for me enough for singletrack riding and marathon racing.
front fork sid ultimate 110mm

Slowly moving forward:)

A few pictures.
ps. the problem with the bearing is solved, it's not the headtube  fault but the bearing. The others fit without a problem.

I just picked up a new frame from Airwolf.

Visually, there are differences compared to the model from 2 years ago.

    The interior definitely looks better, smooth carbon, no visible glue.
It seems that the holes for the cables behind the bottom bracket are now cut parallel to those in the triangle. And there is some additional rubber cover, but unfortunately not like the original, protecting the whole thing.
The Bsa insert threads are now reinforced, covered with an additional layer of carbon, it does not look aesthetically pleasing and smooth, but you can see that this is a response to the threads falling out in the previous version. On the minus side, the lower bearing does not want to enter the head tube smoothly, I will have to use sandpaper and remove some carbon.

When I start assembling the frame, I will see how it is with everything else.
I'll try to add some photos when I have time.

Alright, I think it's happening to me. When i hold my front brake and stand on the pedals I am getting some pretty loud creaking. Got any advice for now? Safe to keep riding? I get a squeak whenever I pedal with power.

It happened to me, after a month, maybe more after purchase. Loud creaking when stepping hard, especially when climbing. It scared me, but it turned out that (I didn't think of it earlier xd) I had to grease all the connections, unscrew the rear triangle, grease the bearings., bushing
The frame has been ridden for almost 2 years, sometimes there is creaking, but usually, unscrewing the crank, greasing helps.
I haven't greased these connections since then, now it's my trainer season and I'm currently waiting for the second frame in a size larger from Airwolf... we'll see how it goes
