Identiti S24 ADS Dropouts CNC Alloy Adjustable Rear Axle Bike Parts

The Identiti S24 ADS Dropouts offer a sophisticated solution for riders demanding enhanced control and adaptability in rear axle positioning. Manufactured from precision CNC-machined alloy with a substantial 6.5mm thickness and finished in a durable black anodised coating, these dropouts combine resilience with refined aesthetics. Specifically engineered for compatibility with current ADS Identiti frames, each dropout is sold individually, providing the flexibility to customise your bicycle’s rear setup according to your precise requirements.

What distinguishes the S24 ADS Dropouts is their innovative capability to shift the rear axle forward by 35mm. This adjustment effectively converts a 26" wheel frame to emulate the handling dynamics of a dedicated 24" frame, delivering nimble and responsive ride characteristics without the need to permanently commit to smaller wheels. The integrated ADS system further enhances functionality by allowing horizontal axle movement, facilitating effortless chain tension adjustment—a critical feature for single-speed configurations or those utilising a Rohloff Speedhub.

Designed for optimal performance, these dropouts preserve perfect alignment of the disc brake mount and gear hanger throughout all axle adjustments. Their near-vertical orientation minimises wheel torque slippage under heavy loads, ensuring consistent reliability even when using quick-release skewers in single-speed setups. Additionally, wheel removal is straightforward: the wheel slides down and forward without disturbing the disc brake caliper or chain tension, guaranteeing that reinstallation maintains exact chain tension for dependable ride quality.

With maintenance and longevity in mind, all vulnerable components—including gear hangers, disc mounts, axle slots, and main fixing bolt threads—are incorporated into the ADS dropout units, simplifying replacement if necessary. Whether your setup includes gears or operates single-speed, the Identiti S24 ADS Dropouts deliver exceptional versatility, enabling you to tailor your bike’s rear end with precision and confidence.
