  1. I have a new Kona Scrap and when putting the rear wheel back on i notice I have about 1/8" of forward and back play when the wheel is in the dropout all the way. I have to pull the wheel all the way back in the dropout to make the clearance on each side of the tire even between the chainstays. It seems to stay there when lock the quick release but none of my other bikes have this happen. They all slide into the dropout perfect without room for moving. It is only on one of the dropouts on the disc brake side. Any help would be appreciated!

    I am not familiar with this brand.
    However, they may have done it on purpose to allow you to line up things easier, while clearing the disc in the calipers.
    Sounds like a question for your shop and/or the manufacturer.

  3. The big question is should I be concerned from the perspective of hurting the frame on jumps or is this acceptable.

    Thanks!
