This the kit I've used for some repairs.  Sadly it was only $30 a few months ago but is now $50.

I would try to patch it up with a carbon fiber repair kit that can be had on Amazon for $50.  It is just 2 part epoxy with carbon fiber fabric.  Prep the area with alcohol and knock off any loose paint.  Make a slurry with the epoxy kit and some chopped strands of carbon fiber and apply it to the damaged area.  Wrap it tightly with some shrink wrap to compress and allow it cure.

Any Dropper issues with the medium frame?

I am running a Rockshox Reverb 31.6 OD by 355mm with 100mm travel on a medium and it fits me perfectly.  I am 5'-6" with about a 30" inseam.  I have the insert portion bottomed out and the extended position is right where I want it.  The drop position also clears just right.

Keep in mind that different model droppers have a different overall length which will cause the insert depth to matter significatntly.  The frame insertion depth is about 5" on a medium frame and it bottoms on the hose attachment not the edge of the cylinder.  I changed my hose connection from the connectamajig to the lower profile rev C and probably gained a fraction of an inch in insert depth.

I had play in mine and also measured the bolt to be smaller than the shock bushing.  I ended up using a shim cut from a aluminum beer can to take up the play.  It is fine for now but I have also reached out to Lightcarbon.

Any updates on how they are responding to this?  I finished mine last month and have about 150 miles on it so far with no issues.

Thank you mrbluvr68 - that is very helpful and the exact response I was looking for. 

Tantan actually got back to me and provided this photo as well.  It looks like your suggestion is correct.  For my rockshox fork I will need the 22mm x 8mm mounting hardware for the top and bottom mounts.

I just ordered this same frame.  I was wondering if anyone help me out with some questions.  I bought a Rockshox Monarch XX 165x38 standard mount rear shock and wanted to make sure I have all the right parts for when the frame arrives. 

You mentioned the frame came with spacers and you had no problems installing the shock.  Can you elaborate on this?  Did the bike come with the right sized bolts that can be used?  Also my shock did not come with bushings so will I be ok if I install 1/2" bushings on the shock?  I'd be interested if you had any more pictures of the shock mount. 

Thanks in advance and sorry for the questions - this is my first build.
