Rohloff dropouts

[suburbanreuben]

Anyone use them?
I really need disc mounts on my DeKerf Solitaire, but they would probably have to be specially made slotted jobbies to allow the caliper to move with the wheel.
I chanced upon Rohloff dropouts on Chas Roberts' site, and they could be the answer, but at £150+ they ain't cheap!

Shand cycles do something similar: http://www.shandcycles.com/gallery/, might be worth getting in touch.

The Shand dropouts look a bit strange for Rohloff use, the Hub needs to be "hold" in both directions, never seen Rohloff dropouts like these.

Just be sure you'll find dropouts that are matching with your frame's sliders

OOh yeah! His are a lot more elegant .
I did contact him a few months ago regarding disc mounts but he is apparently up to his eyeballs building new frames, and was too busy to fit some for me. This may or may not still be the case. I'll give him another call.
Its nice to see him busy though. Things must be getting better if people have money for fripperies.

It has Paul Components track slots at present. I'll need new dropouts fitted. Since I may well use a Speedhub in the future, I'd better get the proper job.
I'll give Chas a call in the morning!
