Yes, it comes with sliding geared dropouts

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

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

i do have a whyte preston with an alfine/ss changable setup and love the alfine especialy in the mud of winter ,,

so i have no doubts about the alfine hub,, might wait for the 11 speed one later in the year,, of get an 8 speed one as iexpect the prices to drop soon

my frame came with both geared and SS hanger ,,

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? 🙂

Clear as mud!! 🙂

Translated as your working on it?

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?
