Inbred – Sliding Dropout – Replacement !! :-(

So just investigating my clunking gears ahead of my bike tour next week when I discover that the gear hanger thread is shredded. That is why the gear line was out.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement gear hanger for an on-one sliding hanger frame ! This is what it looks like. The ones I can find on the on-one site look nothing like this !

No one other than On One I’d have thought.

You can repair the thread.

Can you use a longer bolt and put a nut on the back?

I’d go with above and put a nut on the back and sort something when u get back

I just used one of these (last night in fact) to put gears on a Pompetamine.

Only done 40km so can’t comment on longevity but seems good and no reason not to work on the Inbred. Quite content.

You can get an insert with a new thread. You’ll have to drill / file the existing one to allow it to fit though.

I actually have the part you need that I could lend you but I’m packed up to move house and I don’t know where it is unfortunately.

This sort of thing

Why bother with all that complicated bollocks, I’ve already posted a link to the part.

Well they are posting to things I’ve already posted and even Brant seems to have got the wrong end of the stick so I don’t think anyone is paying attention! 😀

Apparently so…

I’m not sure if that dropout is right seeing as I actually drew the on one ones myself. On my CAD package.

Goldtec…?

If On One don’t sell them, go round and poo down their chimney.

Phoned On-one this morning and they are checking. Sent em a pic. The one above looks similar.
Might be able to get my one re-threaded.
Appreciate all the help people!! Am hoping to take this (my only) bike on a tour round cornwall starting next Monday

Sorry – I misunderstood. It’s the thread for the rear mech that’s damaged, not the bit where the bolts attatch it to the frame?

If it’s the rear mech thread, then Andyl’s link will work.

So I would need to drill out the old thread and glue the new one in place? Or does it screw into the what looks like it could be the other half? Anyone used this replacement kit before?

Yeah – you run a drill through, clean the broken thread out. Then that doofer pushes in from the back.

Update: Richard at On-One is still searching for what he described as ‘the holy grail’ of dropouts. Should be worth having a spare to hand though.

When I bought my sliding drop-out frame from On-One (May ’06), I tried only about a month later to buy this part from them.
I was told a story of why that would be the only run of that design and it was suggested I called Orange and ask them for the part.
I did, bought one, chucked it in the shed and it has been there ever since…

A 10mm quick release (like the superstar one) is the same thread, I cleaned up the thread on my commuter with one.

Brant just cos you des

Brant it’s entirely feasible that some OEM cloned your part design, you know how it works out there, no rules no regulation.
