Sorry to put this in here but I've got my first ever race (UKGE Rd4) in a few weeks and have just bent and nearly destroyed my dropout. Its ridable but doesn't change gear properly and one more hit and it'll be a goner. I can't find stock anywhere and the best hotlines can say is "August" 😕
Has anyone got a spare they could sell me please?
Bump - anyone?
The whole drop out? Or the hanger? I also didnt realise they were universal! Even then there is shimano or DT isnt there?
The DS dropout has the hanger built in to it
might be worth giving BETD a call.
BETD?
Edit: just googled it - can't see any nukeproof dropouts on their site
Cant believe you have to replace the whole drop out... Give nukeproof a call? Borrow a bike? I have plenty of hangers, all for PMW 142x12 drop outs though.
that's why it might be worth calling them.
Could you get a 135 dropout and have it trimmed down? I assume the sticky outy bit is just a bit wider or is the axle a larger diameter?
My mate had the same predicament and entered up buying a 135 and having it milled out so he had one for the mega, he could not get one anywhere (betd included)
My wheels have adaptors for both 135mm and 142mm, so I might end up having to buy a whole 135mm dropout kit and maxle (about £80 altogether!)
It seems nukeproof don't supply enough of these for some reason. I wonder of they're all with the guide companies in France?
Try Nirvana Cycles in Westcott..
Nirvana have one in stock but..

Thanks for the heads-up re Nirvana. I persuaded them to send me one out - I think it was the only one in the country!
Good stuff...
