I`ve managed to go many years before bending this beyond salvage. Of course On-one no longer stock the essential item....none of the hundreds of assorted hangers I have looked at and queried come even close. Its not fancy, just a bit of flat aluminium with 3 holes, one of them threaded for the mech. A local machine shop has quoted £80 for a custom one. Has anyone been able to solve a similar issue (or indeed do you have an redundant one in your spares box?). All advice and experiences gratefully received..cheers
Has it got any sort of number on it? Sometimes helps to find an aftermarket version...
I used to have two of those Whippets - great bikes!
I thought they used the swapout dropouts? Or was that just the C456?
T think they may be the swapouts
no visible number...have sent pics to all the online mech hanger dealers i can find with no result
....but they are no longer available from On-one
I've been trying to get hold of some C456 singlespeed Swap Out drop outs without any success☹️
I could probably machine them, but it wouldn't be for another couple weeks, as I've got other projects to get done first.
Can somebody post a photo of them?
Have you tried BETD? They have hundreds of different ones all made in house.
I have some, may be of use.
Had some, just looking.....
The swapout dropouts if that's what they were were supposed to be an emerging standard, I think it was DMR pushing it? It never really caught on, and On One never did any of the things with it that they promised to like having axle swap dropouts and the like, but maybe one of these will do it? I can't remember exactly what the C456 ones looked like to compare

(it's not just bolt-throughs, it's just a really horrible link/website, you have to hunt around a bit to see the options)
