I am finalizing my first build and I keep thinking of just doing a simple rear-facing dropout with a hanger, QR.
I have also considered just designing my own and having it cut out by Send-Cut-Send or something out of 6mm Chromoly, the only issue there is tapping the hanger from just a bare hole, SCS doesn’t have the correct tap for that.
If anyone has any idea or has them or something similar.
You can still design your own for SCS and then tap the hanger yourself. Just make the hole the right dimension for the tap to do its job.
What set up issue are you trying to solve by using a rear facing dropout?
Remember, if you’re using disk brakes, you’ll also need to find a solution for a movable calliper.
Running it single speed geared, or interally geared. As the bicycle might change thru its life. Also it looks much cleaner then a modular dropout.
The lower white dropout imaged is on a road bike that is currently being ran single speed. but at one point was ran geared. Versatility.
I’m all for versatility but you still need a way to mount the calliper relative to the axle. Doesn’t matter if it’s single speed or IGH.
Slotted is brake mount. That’s something simple you can design and hand make or have made by SCS. I’m not to worried about that. And that’s also very relevant to the stay angle.
Finding or creating my own dropout is the the first stop.
I still might just do a modular dropout. But I just can find one I’m super happy with how it looks. I got some.
