Where to get horizontal drop-outs?

Posted on
  • i live in the north west, in a shit little town southport, i was wondering where is the nearest and best place to get horizontal track drop outs fitted and how much will they cost to buy and to fit??

    thanks

  • you can buy them from Will at hubjub, I'm guessing you will need to find a welder after that..

  • Hubjub £9.50.

  • Mercian? They're in Derby, but not that far away... From memory it's about £90, expensive if you're gonna get them to respray as well...
    Or Dave Yates, he's in Lincolnshire... Probably cheaper...

  • I'm not far from you over in Rainford (near St Helens)
    Steve Goff will more than likely do the work for you - he's based in Skelmersdale. I bet you he's got some drop outs in too.

  • I've got that problem too now... still nobody in London who could do that at reasonable price?
    Excentric hubs are £110 (if you know cheaper alternative on this, that would be good!) so if the cheaper was £90 as mentioned on this thread, I suppose I would go for excentric hubs... Less trouble I suppose...

    Thanks

  • Loic, Vaz can get his brother to do it for you at Chas Roberts... Think it's about £60...

  • superted fits dropouts, i think he charges around £70

  • Thank you guys... Shame Ellis Briggs is too far, his price was more or less what I was ready to spend on that frame (as it's nothing special)...
    So the Vaz option is the best then. Still twice cheaper that an excentric hub, that's good as I already got the rear wheel for this project... I'll try to call him today.

    Very good!

  • oi southport is not shit
    i lived there ( manchester road ) for a year and loved the place
    smarties cocktail bar
    the belash
    the windmill

    although it was only a year !

  • is it 'safe' to get any old welder to fit them or best to choose someone that is familiar with bikes?
