  • If speccing a frame with 12mm rear dropouts, which thread pitch would be best to choose?
    Or which is the most common/likely to last?
    I can see 1.0, 1.5, 1.75mm at least.

  • which thread pitch would be best to choose?

    Whichever your frame builder can get. If you're worried, get a couple of spare through bolts now, although I suspect that it's the OLN dimension which will trip up future proofing rather than the thread pitch.

    If I'm designing for bikes with a free hand, I prefer 1.0mm pitch for everything from M6 up.

  • Whichever your frame builder can get.

    Well I haven't really seen any 1.75mm dropouts to be fair. So if neither of the other two are going to go out of fashion in the next year or two, I'll just get whichever.
    Thanks. 142x12 seems to be safe for now at least
