Hi guys - have been reading ferociously for a few weeks and have initiated my 036 build. Everything has been ordered and almost everything received (just waiting on some XT 11sp components to arrive). See build list at the bottom. I have a few questions that I hope you guys can help with.
1. I ordered a set of wheels that have 10x135mm rear hubs. They're a set of previous generation Crank Brothers Cobalt 3's that can't be converted up to 12x142mm. My frame came with 12x142mm drop-outs. Does anyone have a pair of QR drop-outs that they're willing to sell to me or know where to order? I'm hoping to receive sooner rather than later so can complete the build this week.
2. I have a dropper with internal routing (Rockshox Reverb Stealth) and remote dual lock-out (Rockshox xLoc full sprint). I just received the frame yesterday and it has 3 internal routing options which will be utilized by a) rear brake, b) rear derailleur c) remote lock to shock. Does anyone know whether it is possible route the dropper cable internally through the frame as well? I've seen builds with one or the other, but not both.
If it doesn't work, what cable should be external?
3. Related to above, does anyone have pointers on installing the xLoc full sprint remote? It's my first bike build and I haven't been able to find much in terms of installing this component.
Thanks for the help!!

Does it use the same dropouts as the 256? If so, I think my coworker has a spare set of the older quick release dropouts your looking for.
I think I've read that many of the frames use the same drop-outs but can anyone confirm?
When I ordered some spare drop outs, Bert from IPlay sent me these two pictures, to be sure the one I needed.
There are old and new shapes of drop outs it seems.
The ones that came with my 256 frame are the new.
Although they are 142x12, but the screw holes and the shape of the 135 is mostly the same (I have a useless set here in Europe if that helps).
Thanks c. I'll take a pic of them when I get home tonight to compare.

Yes, please take pictures when you can, I am willing to tell you what kind of quick release dropout you need.
Hi Peter - thanks for offering to help. Here are the pics of the drop-outs.
Please let me know if anyone has a set of 10x135 drop-outs, in the states ideally.
Upon closer inspection, I'm looking for QR rear dropouts. Anyone have a pair laying around or know where I can find some in the states?

You need the quick release dropout same as this one, see attachment
There is definitely one free set here, but on the other side of the Atlantic.
No chance to get it by Friday, I'm afraid.
Unless you have a FedEx/UPS account.
Carbonazza - I just checked a price quote using my company's fedex account and it is too much to justify unfortunately. Thanks again for the offer.
I guess I'll have to get it shipped in from China. Too bad I already sold my old bike :(
I noticed a small hole in the carbon fiber last night above the bottom pivot (see pic). Do you guys think this is a concern?
