A question please.

My frame has sliding rear drop outs.

Thus SS with a tensioner.

Is there a rear derailleur hanger available for these frames?

Might like to run her geared for fun.

Yebo, I bought one in a while back from CRC - I think it was DMR - but it was the last one in stock at the time. Worked out to R550 landed with DHL express. Maybe ask them on the chat line - I think it was called "DMR tensioner with mech hanger", or something along those lines. What was quite nice about it was that it came with a tensioner for either side of the frame - not just drive side like many others.

 

EDIT: Found it - not available anymore on CRC, but I am sure if you ask they will source it for you.

Sounds cool.

I e mailed on one / Planet x directly.

They told me that that frame is solely built for SS they cant help with a drop out.

I was sure I would find something.

You can also give Grant Usher at sprocket & jack a call, he hooked me up with a hanger to run gears.

 

Full cable housing from shifter to rd and bob is married to your aunt...have been running my inbred like that for almost 2 years.

Hahaha! Was a #grappie. Think the Inbred will look sexy as a grinder tho. Almost time for me to take the old bird out of storage. Can’t wait! Not sure if I posted picks with the new rims and brakes...

I went to blood in my 456 (and my knee) at Oak Valley the other day.

Damn it's lekker riding SS again. I really missed it. The simplicity just makes it a jol.

 

In my mind the heart of mountainbiking is in forest singletrack.

My little plot of forest leaves with farm views.

Slipped out on the leaves and both me and the bike went for a slide.

Excellent. Thanks. Will do

 

Sorry, didn't manage to take a photo last night, but this is what I have

 

Shimano Saint Axle Mount Derailleur for horizontal dropouts (9 speed)

I also have a Sunrace 9 speed 11-40t cassette and Microshift 9 speed gripshifts to go with it

I'm at odds on whether to get rid of this set up or not.

 

I also have one of these lying about, which I picked up at the Giant Store in Cape Town (I can have a look there, if I leave work earlier enough today)
