Identiti Alloy ADS Adjustable Dropouts for Single-Speed & Hub Gear Frames

The Identiti Alloy ADS Dropouts represent a precision-engineered solution tailored specifically for the current range of Identiti frames. Constructed from high-grade CNC alloy with a substantial 6.5mm thickness and finished in a durable black anodised coating, these dropouts deliver a balance of strength, durability, and refined aesthetics. Available individually, they serve as an essential component that enhances both the functionality and longevity of your frame, ensuring a reliable cycling experience.

At the core of this product is the innovative A.D.S. Adjustable Dropout System, a proprietary feature exclusive to Identiti. This system enables precise horizontal adjustment of the rear axle, allowing riders to achieve optimal chain tension—a critical advantage for single-speed configurations and those equipped with Rohloff Speedhub systems. The integral threaded chain tugs provide secure and straightforward adjustment, while the synchronized movement of the disc brake mount and gear hanger guarantees perfect alignment under all riding conditions. This meticulous engineering supports consistent performance and ease of maintenance.

Designed with both practicality and performance in mind, the dropouts feature a near-vertical orientation that effectively prevents wheel torque slippage, even under demanding loads. This design allows the use of quick-release skewers on single-speed setups without compromising security. Additionally, wheel removal is streamlined: the wheel slides out downwards and forwards without necessitating the removal of the disc brake calliper. Reinstallation maintains exact chain tension, eliminating the need for readjustment and minimising downtime. For those seeking to extend the service life of their frame, these dropouts provide a cost-effective means to replace vulnerable components individually.

Key Features & Benefits
