Hi iammemares, those are good questions, let me try to answer.
I believe there should be a metal insert on the disc side of the frame to protect the carbon?? The relief in the frame suggests this as well. I believe also some of the pics online show a reversible metal piece on the disc side as well?
I'm 100% positive that there is nothing missing. Peter has provided me with detailed picture of each side of the rear end of the frame. This is the way it it supposed to be. And I'd be curious to see the pictures you mentioned with a reversible piece of metal. I've searched all the pictures I could find but never found anything like you mention.
1. How about the rear axle issue?
I'm still waiting on Peter to tell me how he wants to fix this. Again, I'm not happy with 5mm of washers. And this axle did not come for free.
2. How about the headset height and lack of level issue?
3. The brake line feed issue?
This is a good and difficult question. Let me explain. This kind of problems happen. But they should never pass quality control. The frame should have been downgraded as B stock. Maybe it was and I was not told about it. I did not complain to Peter about it, neither mention it, because I got the frame for free. Had I paid the frame, I would have asked for compensation. There is nothing you can do but fix it the way I did or return it.
What is the current A2C with the 110 fork that yields the 68.5 HA.
I'm not convinced in my ability to measure this accurately. This is a stock Reba 29", solo air, 100 mm, 2012-2013 model. Bumped to 110 mm. Found this on internet: 100mm=>473mm A2C. 120mm=>493mm A2C.
So the best answer should be 483 mm A2C.
Has Peter acknowledged these issues and have they been corrected.
Again, I've only mentioned the axle problem and it is not solved for now.
