Identiti P-60/66 ADS Adjustable Dropouts 14mm Spares & Accessories for Bikes

The Identiti P-60/66 Ads D/Out 14Mm Spares & Accessories exemplify advanced engineering in frame components, designed to deliver precision and adaptability for discerning cyclists. Manufactured from CNC alloy with a substantial 6.5mm thickness and finished in a durable black anodised coating, these dropouts ensure long-lasting performance under rigorous conditions. By shifting the rear axle forward by 35mm, this innovative system converts a 26" wheel frame to emulate the agile handling of a 24" frame, offering riders enhanced manoeuvrability without committing to smaller wheels permanently.

Central to this product is the Adjustable Dropout System (A.D.S.) by Identiti, which provides seamless horizontal adjustment of the rear axle position. This feature is essential for maintaining optimal chain tension, particularly for single-speed configurations or setups equipped with Rohloff Speedhubs. The design guarantees that the disc brake mount and gear hanger move synchronously with the axle, preserving precise alignment and ensuring reliable braking and gear performance. Furthermore, the near-vertical dropout orientation prevents wheel torque slippage, enabling the confident use of quick-release skewers on single-speed bikes.

Maintenance is simplified through the system’s thoughtful engineering, allowing the wheel to be removed downwards and forwards without disturbing chain tension or requiring disc brake caliper removal. This ensures that chain tension remains consistent upon wheel reinstallation, reducing downtime and effort. The modular construction also enhances durability, with all vulnerable components such as gear hangers, disc mounts, axle slots, and fixing bolt threads integrated into the dropouts for easy replacement if damaged. This design supports sustained performance and reliability over time.
