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

The Identiti P-60/66 Ads D/Out 14Mm Spares & Accessories represent a pinnacle in frame component innovation designed specifically for riders seeking precision and versatility. Crafted from CNC alloy with a robust 6.5mm thickness and finished in sleek black anodised coating, these dropouts are built to last and perform under demanding conditions. Engineered as a refined iteration of the ADS plates, they strategically move the rear axle forward by an impressive 35mm, effectively transforming a 26" wheel-based frame into one that mimics the handling characteristics of a dedicated 24" frame. This breakthrough allows cyclists to enjoy the nimble responsiveness of a 24" setup without the permanent commitment to smaller wheels.

At the heart of this product lies the innovative Adjustable Dropout System (A.D.S.) by Identiti, which provides the rider with effortless horizontal adjustment of the rear axle position. This feature is invaluable for maintaining optimal chain tension, especially beneficial for single-speed configurations or those equipped with Rohloff Speedhubs. The design ensures that as the axle shifts, the disc brake mount and gear hanger move in unison, preserving perfect alignment and enhancing overall reliability. The near-vertical dropout orientation eliminates the risk of wheel torque slippage even under heavy loads, allowing the use of quick-release skewers confidently on single-speed setups.

Additionally, the system simplifies wheel removal and installation by allowing the wheel to exit downwards and forwards, eliminating the need to adjust chain tension or remove the disc brake caliper during maintenance. This thoughtful engineering means that when the wheel is reinstalled, chain tension remains exactly as before, saving time and effort. The Identiti P-60/66 also offers peace of mind through its modular design; all vulnerable parts such as gear hangers, disc mounts, axle slots, and fixing bolt threads are integrated into the dropouts and can be easily replaced if damaged, ensuring longevity and sustained performance.

What It’s Good For

• Providing precise rear axle adjustment to maintain optimal chain tension for single-speed or geared setups.
• Enhancing frame versatility by enabling 26" frames to emulate 24" specific handling characteristics.
• Ensuring perfect alignment of the disc brake mount and gear hanger during axle movement.
• Allowing quick and hassle-free wheel removal without disturbing chain tension or disc brake settings.
• Offering durable construction with easily replaceable vulnerable parts to extend component lifespan.
• Supporting the use of quick-release skewers safely on single-speed configurations due to dropout design.

What It’s NOT Good For

• Frames or setups incompatible with the ADS system or requiring different dropout dimensions.
• Riders who do not require adjustable axle positioning or chain tension control.
• Applications where vertical dropout orientation is unsuitable or conflicts with other frame components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these dropouts be used with both derailleur and hub gear systems?
Yes, the Identiti P-60/66 ADS dropouts are designed to work perfectly with derailleur systems, hub gears, or even single-speed setups, offering maximum flexibility to the rider.

Will I need to readjust the chain tension every time I remove the wheel?
No, one of the key benefits of this ADS system is that when the wheel is removed and reinstalled, the chain tension stays consistent, saving you time and hassle during maintenance.
