Sliding Dropouts

Sliding dropouts provide versatility to single speed frame designs by allowing different 'sliders' to be mounted to the frame. Chain tension is achieved using a single M5 screw to push the axle rearward while preventing unwanted forward motion. For disc brake applications, the disc slider and rear axle move rearward at the same time which maintains proper caliper and rotor alignment. 

Specs:

• Dropout bodies are machined in the USA from 7005 aluminum
• Both hood diameters measure 38mm for easy mitering
• Weight per pair: 152 grams (without sliding inserts)
