Hi all, I realize this is my first post, I have been a long time lurker and finally took the plunge and ordered a frame direct from China.

So after waiting since 9th April I received my 19" frame with 12x142 rear axle from a well known Chinese vendor

I tried to mount the rear wheel and it was very,very loose, I measure across the dropouts and it comes close to 147mm

I have contacted the vendor and sent photos, however they have said the frame was measured before shipping and is a 142mm frame. To give you some background when they first received my frame from the factory it came with 148mm spacing and they needed to order a new rear triangle with 142mm spacing.

To my mind that is way out of spec, I assume this would be a boost 148 frame, just wondering if anyone else has had this same issue, or has any thoughts on this?
