• What am I doing wrong here? I had a go at fitting this Erlotti torpedo to forward facing dropouts. A stud to the right of the axle hole clashes with the track nut- I’m wondering if I have the hanger plate on back to front or whether it’s not supposed to hang from a forward facing dropout at all....
    anyone got any suggestions? Cheers

  • Just a guess but back to front somehow? Wouldn't that put the stud in the dropout slot so keeping the hanger steady? Is it reversible?

    Edit just realised that would put the stud behind the axle, so maybe a point for track ends.

  • Can you take the hanger plate off and turn it around? On the likes of 70s and 80s derailleurs with no hanger, that locating stud usually goes into the back of the dropout behind the axle.
