Hey, i was just wondering, because so many really good bikes come with both horizontal and vertical dropouts, which would be better on a DJ/Urban bike and for what reasons... Just curious to see what everybody thinks...
cheers
yes = better off with either adjustable veritcal drops, or vertical drops, though some frames claim a little adjustment with horizontal drops (i.e. Endless Lifetime)
no = horizontal
Singlespeed=horizontal
Geared=vertical
I've never really seen a need for gears on a dj bike...unless it's an all around bike that you use at the trails, as well.
horizontal and vertical like my dna, imo the best damn system invented. so easy lossen 6 bolts tighten one till desired chain slack is taken up, tighten bolts again and your money. disc never has to be messed with
i really, really, really like the dropouts on the DNA i'm selling. the pre-05 type, with the brass knob you turn. i like it better than the system on my DOC. can you get a picture of your dropout setup?
i promised myself that i wouldnt take any pics till the parts from all my sponsors show up (mid next week) trust me its like your old system only 100x sicker
my Identiti has adjustable dropouts too, i like them a lot, although ive never run it ss, so it doesnt really matter what i think. If you go with adjustable though, make sure to tighten them pretty often. I cased a jump pretty hard once and one came loose
