  • Thank you. Yes that is the plan for now.

    The stainless axle receiver is turned on the lathe and then TIG welded onto the flatplate dropout on both side. The two-holed flange is silver soldered onto the dropout when then dropouts have been brazed to the frame. By chamfering the backside of the bigger hole in that flange I should be able to get it flush with the DS dropout face. Gear hangers can then be out of stainless or alu depending on what I can get lasercut.
    All of this is heavily inspired by Hunter Cycles but optimised for my workflow and fab preferences.

  • You need something on the inner face of the dropout, connected to the hanger, to stop it moving to the right. Or I need to have more coffee :)

    Looks great either way. I'm also a fan of the bricoleur approach.

  • You need more coffee. The hanger is threaded and will be pulled towards the face of the flange. And because the flange is brazed to the dropout nothing will move once bolted
