I've just got a new frame which I was putting together this afternoon. When trying to put the rear brake on to the post mounts, the top one was very stiff and wouldn't go in all the way (using standard Shimano 18mm bolts with SLX caliper).
Has anyone had anything like this before and is it worth getting the thread chased (it looked clean but you never know hey?)?

Is the bolt bottoming out? Stick a spoke in there and see how far it goes?

No the hole goes all the way through. I was thinking to use a smaller bolt but am worried there's something up with the frame.

Get a tap and clean it out.

Wot Chris says. A set of taps is always a useful thing to have, invest !
