[#3127301]

Been using my Titus 29er for a month or two now and it's never really occurred to me if it may have a problem

The rear dropouts are 140mm apart, this just pulls in OK when I tighten the rear axle bolts up but I was sort of wondering if that's OK?
The rear triangle is carbon so the thought occurred that it may be over-stressing it somehow?

140mm - that's tandem dropouts isn't it?
