I agree Bill. Grant is designing a single speed frame with some added
features for adaptation by the owner. You could readily convert your
current Rivendell with 135mm spacing to single speed and that has been done
and shared here. I am eagerly anticipating the release of the Roaduno and
have b
I (for one) will expect 120mm O.L.D. The one and only reason to move to
135mm is so folks can use the wheels they have laying around for free.
120mm is the right O.L.D. for an actual single speed-OR-a modest
multispeed.

Hi JL:
Hooded dropouts like these are sometimes referred to as Breezer-style, as
Joe Breeze used them in his MTB. (IIRC, they predate Breeze, though.)
Hooded style has advantages for builders and Riv: this one can be used at
many different angles. Vertical dropouts, like on my Toyo AHH, have a f
Can someone tell me the purpose of the hoods on dropouts like these? They are
referred to as Breezer style, right?

When I last spoke to Will about it a few weeks ago he confirmed the spacing was 120.On Dec 9, 2022, at 7:20 AM, Brian Forsee wrote:I'll be bummed if the roaduno ends up with a der hanger and/or cable routing for a derailleur. I like my single speeds nice and clean. If they DO put options for a ge
I'll be bummed if the roaduno ends up with a der hanger and/or cable
routing for a derailleur. I like my single speeds nice and clean. If they
DO put options for a geared setup on there I hope they at least go to a
135mm spacing.

Doh. You're right - i forgot about that possibility. I'm so obsessed with
IGHs, i completely overlooked front-shifting possibilities.

It's an outlier as far as what most people are looking for in a frame like
this, but a member here many years ago put an old rear derailer (Shimano
200GS I think) with a bolt on hanger on a Quickbeam so he could use a
wide-range double crank with fd derailer to give it a big top gear plus
hill
Another thought: Does the presence of a hanger mean that the dropout will
be oriented more horizontally than the QB/SO dropouts?

Makes sense, but it's still curious to me that they only used the Frank
Jones Sr. dropout on that one model. (Or, maybe a Rosco model, too?). Im
kind of suspecting that, with 3D design printing capabilities, it might be
just as easy to come up with a new part if and when it is needed.

I'm also v interested in RoadUno as "my last Riv"...
Spec'ing a hanger on these trackends means that Riv can use it for other
frames-- maybe they'll make a 135-spaced frame using these? Or someone will
request a custom?
That said, these are prototypes, so who knows what will show up in the

The print does say for a chain tensioner or derailleur. That's quite
straight forward to me. Sun XCD does make a 120mm cassette hub. Customize
your own cog set and there 'ya go.
So why call it a Road-UNO ? Because it can be a seamless single speed
and just because it can be used as such d
