[Orc]

Pretty dropouts. Homemade or purchased?

I’m quite excite!

[igor]

That’s killer, Eric!

[asterisk]

Gotdamn, those stays. So clean.

Derpout Prototype:

[Straws]

thank you for not using the tiny fucking like 3mm flimsy as shit screws that most dropouts use.

[Rusty_Piton]

Is the idea that the screw of the chain tensioner will extend into the chainstay? Because that’s pretty slick.

Preterterp

[rancid_burple]

Yup!

That hardware is borrowed and uses M6 threaded rod. I might make it M5 just because a ~6.2mm hole in a 10mm thick dropout makes me a bit nervous.

[jimmythefly]

Right and left specific?

[jimmythefly]

Also, for a minute I thought this was some sort of insulated derpout with integrated electrical connector, for using a dynohub on the rear with a fixed 6-bolt conversion cog.

[turpentine]

Looks like they would be.

[Straws]

huh, I didn’t even think about the fact that it would be in the stay when installed. That’s the way my geekhouse has them setup.

[rancid_burple]

Nope same for each side. Flange is only asymmetrical top to bottom to provide weld area for SS. Fixed gear cog position means no clearance issues with inboard flange.

oh, FUCK. eat your heart out, OG nexave di2!
