PaRtZ Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 [attachmentid=6260]OK I had a thought, Im not sure if this is already implemented on stock bikes, but im sure its not. Basically instead of a vertical dropout, you have a circular one. This means that the wheel will always be the right distance away from the brake + frame but you can also tension it like a modIts hard to describe, but im sure it would work. And I've not looked closely at many stock bikes so im not sure if its already in use... ah well if its useless it was fun to doodle in paintIdeas?

Monkey Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 (edited) That's not far from the old horizontal dropouts you'd find on racers about 25 years ago.HERE. Edited August 2, 2006 by Monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squince Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 The pressure that little hook is going to be under will be tremendous.I can imagine that little hook snapping off in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I can imagine that little hook snapping off in no time its only 2d drawing It would actually be 80 cm thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfuzzit Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) Back in the 60's-80's or so they had alot of dropouts like this. Horizontal is a better way to go though.Oh yeah my bad, um the grey thing is a screw to keep the axle still. yeah a tensioning screw. Its kinda weak design though.

Matt_Tupman Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 This design to me seem the best Idea Motorbike type dropout, Horizontal so good tensioning, 360 so you have good strenght and your wheels not going to pop out the red things a snail cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I think the dropouts on the Toxsin mod are very cool, and look like they would work very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
