Now I have to deal with the 110mm rear fork I have to spread to fit it. Sounds fun!

But, I notice the wheel axle is threaded to accept the included allen nuts. Cool touch! However, the gap between the axle itself and the allen nut is about 5 or 6mm, which is wider than my dropouts. Am I supposed to use a spacer or something in there or do I need to find a frame with thicker dropouts? I'm already thinking about looking around for another one due to the rear fork issue, but I love this frame!
