the metal matrix an be welded but it'll be even more complex and might involve a trip back to the maker in the US

Its not a viable option.
So, if its OK with v brakes it has to be the Hope mount thats letting it slide. I don't think its possible to run a 10mm bolt thro rear axle because of the arm so theres no way of really tightening it up other than a QR, it has to be the arm/frame interface where its moving

Personally I'd pick up the good old dog and bone and talk to Hope, they like us are a very small company who are manufacturers first and foremost and aren't really set up to handle customers, they expect their dealers to do that. Email is a pain in the ar'e, it takes forever to sort a problem which can be delat with in minutes on the phone. 01282 851200 if I recall correctly
