    You can swap the ugly tensioner bolt for a normal (5mm thread)4mm allen key headed bolt. I also did away with the locknut, just nip up the dropout and tighten the adjuster into it to stop it rattling loose.

    (Mine are on a Lynskey SS which share the same drop-outs and are about a year old). They do work very well.

    Yeah can't help but think a pair ofgeared sliding dropouts would have given it more appeal/usefulness.

    Looks good, I have tried the alfine and not too sure they are the answer, they feel a bit draggy compared to a mech based setup

    pair ofgeared sliding dropouts

    Think it comes with those; both bikes leaning against the Berlingo are geared.

    It comes with a disc side sliding dropout, a gear side dropout with a gear hanger, and a gear side plain SS hanger too.

    Ah, thought it was concieved as a purist thang! It's all clear now

    I'd wait for the 11 speed alfine – it'll be lighter won't it?

    Any news on the aluminium or steel version?

    Unless my numbers come up shortly I think the titanium version will be out of my reach.

    My frames, generally are combinations of dropouts, tubesets and geometries. We've got "headtubes" thrown in the mix this year too, and we're just nailing a few aspects on all of those, and then we can start to throw out some more versions and different versions of stuff we have now, and coming.

    I don't expect that made sense, but it did in my head.

    Looks fab and could tempt me into the world of big wheels…

    I always think that with these sort of dropouts that it's the perfect solution on the brake-side, but that the drive-side is so much simpler with a track end and chaintug. How about some sort of mutant with a combination of both? 🙂

    there really is no need at all to change them. Mine has been faultless from day one.

    Glad to hear it! The problem I always had with my Kona's sliders was that the dropouts weren't vertical. There were slightly front-facing to make it easier to get the wheel out with the chain under tension, but that meant you had to clamp the axle nuts down REALLY tight to stop the wheel pulling out under power or when doing fixie skids…

    i think these dropouts are better than those with slotted mounts for brake calipers,,

    as you dont have to realign your caliper when you adjust your chain ,

    Agree but I'd prefer a track-end on the drive-side if I were spec'ing my own build 🙂

    Would that not need asymmetrical stays?

    That would depend on the shape of the dropouts and how much area they've got for welding onto the stays.
