My 2010 Kona Jake the Snake has two threaded mounts for both rack and mudguard on each side of the rear dropouts. After the frame cracked and a warranty claim, Kona have supplied a replacement frame but it's the 2012 frame which has only one threaded mount on each or the the rear dropouts, so I can't easily mount both a rear mudguard and a rear rack on the 2012 frame.

This is quite surprising: surely the reason for updating a frame is to make it better, not (even slightly) worse? Kona say the Jake the Snake makes a great commuter bike. For me, choosing between having a rack or mudguards isn't an option - I need both, just as I had on my 2010 Jake the Snake, which is a great commuter and all-round bike! Anyway...

The screws supplied with the rack and mudguards don't allow them to be fitted on the single rear-dropout mounting holes at the same time.

Is there any easy way I can fit both the mudguards and rack onto the 2012 frame? I could use longer screws if I can find the exact correct length but that's proving to be a problem here in the UK and also, would it be safe to fit both items using one mounting point?

I am curious as to why Kona have only provided one mounting hole on the latest frames whereas the 2010 frame had two?
