Identiti P66 2012 ADS Adjustable Dropout 10mm for Cycling Frames & Accessories

Enhance your cycling setup with the Identiti Spares & Accessories - P66 2012 ADS D/out 10mm, engineered for precision and long-lasting performance. These dropouts are meticulously crafted from CNC-machined alloy with a substantial 6.5mm thickness and finished in a professional black anodised coating, ensuring both strength and corrosion resistance. Designed specifically for compatibility with current ADS Identiti frames, they provide a seamless integration that meets the demands of serious cyclists requiring reliable adjustability and durability.

The hallmark of this product is the innovative A.D.S. Adjustable Dropout System, which allows horizontal adjustment of the rear axle to achieve optimal chain tension. This feature is particularly beneficial for single-speed configurations and Rohloff Speedhub users, ensuring consistent drivetrain performance. The system’s design synchronises the movement of the disc mount and gear hanger with the axle adjustment, maintaining precise alignment and eliminating common issues associated with axle repositioning. Furthermore, the vertical dropout orientation effectively prevents wheel torque slippage under heavy loads, allowing the use of quick-release skewers even in single-speed setups.

Wheel removal and installation are simplified by the dropout’s unique design, which enables the wheel to slide out downwards and forwards rather than backwards. This eliminates the need to readjust chain tension or remove the disc brake caliper during wheel changes, saving valuable time and reducing mechanical complexity. Additionally, the ADS dropouts are engineered for longevity and ease of maintenance, integrating vulnerable components such as the gear hanger, disc mounts, axle slots, and bolt threads directly into the dropout. This modular approach facilitates straightforward replacement of these parts if required, extending the service life of your frame and enhancing overall reliability.
