Thanks for the reply, too bad it's only available with asymmetric rims.You were asking for asymmetric wheelset with different depths front and rear.
Are you planning to extend the option to symmetric rims?
If you receive an actual bike, you'll probably want to look inside the frame, because if you get a factory QC rejected frame, you may legitimately risk your life.Wonder if it makes financial sense to assemble and ship out fully built bikes for that low price even if most or all components were QC rejections and subject to be binned.
I should have been more careful in my advice: chances are that you'll want a C-shaped shim rather than an O-shaped one. See part 04 on this Deda parts diagram as an example (part code HDDCRMS - DCR microspacer).Side cutters are great for converting O-shaped things to C-shapes.

Hopefully, a C-shim won't require much disassembly; make sure though that the dimensions of the shim match those of your headset.
It might not be a problem for most but since I travel a lot with my bike on the plane and you are always required to deflate the tires that's quite annoying.Apart from airline regulation there is no real reason to deflate tires for flights. Airline has never checked mine so have flown with normal pressure.
I've an extra TA from my java bike: 165MM M12*P1.5-L16It is only 3mm shorter than the supplied thru axle with 2mm spacer. This Java TA should fit and fix the play issue. Please try and report! I'm getting ready to make an order on this frame once this issue is sorted out.
I can try tonight when I get home... 165mm seems to be on the short side though.
Is the problem that the thru axle is too long? Or is the problem that the threaded part is too short? If I use the washer/spacer as LT advised, does this create any potential issues for rider safety or frame integrity? Thanks for your patience on thisAxle is too long or threads are too short. I would prefer this length axle with longer threading. Based on your measurements there is 6mm space before it protrudes on the drive side..
regarding the rear wheel play on my case... as soon as I seat on the bike, the play is gone from the rear wheel.That is not possible. You're just not able to feel the play anymore as to move the wheel you would need to a create force greater than your body weight in the opposing direction. Uneven wear and potential to damage remains.
I only have this bike and wheelsetCan you try this?
I do plan to try the washer. I’ve read elsewhere that others have the same problem, hope this solves it.
