Identiti Rohloff ADS Dropouts CNC Alloy Adjustable Dropout System for Speedhub

The Identiti Rohloff ADS Dropouts represent a precision-engineered solution tailored specifically for current Identiti ADS frames. Crafted from high-quality CNC alloy with a robust 6.5mm thickness and finished in an elegant black anodised coating, these dropouts provide a durable and reliable platform for integrating the Rohloff Speedhub. Their design enhances both functionality and aesthetics, offering a refined alternative to traditional dropout systems by accommodating Rohloff OEM axle plates without the need for additional torque arms or Speed bones.

This dropout system utilises the innovative Adjustable Dropout System (ADS) technology, allowing precise horizontal adjustment of the rear axle. This feature is essential for maintaining optimal chain tension, particularly for single-speed riders or those using Rohloff Speedhubs. The design ensures that disc brake mounts remain perfectly aligned during axle adjustments, preserving brake performance and safety. Additionally, the near-vertical orientation of the dropouts prevents wheel torque slippage, enabling the secure use of quick-release skewers without compromising stability.

Engineered for ease of maintenance and longevity, the Identiti Rohloff ADS Dropouts incorporate integral threaded chain tugs and position all vulnerable components—such as disc mounts, axle slots, and main fixing bolt threads—within the dropout itself. This thoughtful design simplifies repairs and replacement, ensuring your bike remains in peak condition with minimal downtime. Explore the full range of Identiti Components to complement your build with compatible parts designed to enhance performance and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these dropouts compatible with all Identiti frames?
These dropouts are exclusively compatible with current Identiti ADS frames featuring the Adjustable Dropout System, which permits horizontal axle movement for precise chain tension adjustment.

Can I use these dropouts with other hub brands?
The Identiti Rohloff ADS Dropouts are specifically designed for Rohloff Speedhub integration with OEM axle plates and are not suitable for other hub brands requiring different dropout configurations.

Do I need additional torque arms or Speed bones when using these dropouts?
No, the reinforced left-hand jaw is designed to accept Rohloff OEM axle plates directly, eliminating the need for torque arms or Speed bones and resulting in a streamlined, economical setup.

How does the Adjustable Dropout System benefit my bike setup?
The ADS enables precise horizontal adjustment of the rear axle, allowing easy and secure chain tension control. It also maintains disc brake alignment and prevents wheel slippage, enhancing both performance and rider convenience.

Can I remove the wheel without affecting chain tension?
Yes, the wheel drops out downwards and forwards, enabling removal without disturbing chain tension or disc brake calipers. Upon reinstallation, the wheel returns with the original chain tension intact, preserving ride quality.
