aener Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Another vote for the "bit of both" option. I folded my Comp dropout shut and bent it all the way. It took some serious force to bend and I probably just got very lucky with it not snapping, but it didn't snap. ...I'm not for a moment saying that yours won't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
register Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 FIXED! Out of impatience / lack of confidence in bending, I thought I'd get a file to it. I just continually checked if a hub axle would fit before taking off a little more material. Thankfully, I didn't lose as much dropout as I thought I would! In the meantime, I'll try to land sidehops to my wheel and not my dropout! Still... guess it gives a me a little more life out of this frame! Thanks again for all your help everyone! Glad I got there in the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 You did bend it a tiny bit though, just compared the before and after pic? Nice work though, glad it didn't snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate... maybe I did move it a tiny bit with the pliers. Most importantly, nice to be riding a (very slightly) lighter frame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
