Has anyone here got an Identiti frame using the Adjustable Dropout System?

I have a pre-ADS Dr Jekyll and might be able to get hold of a newer model, just wondering if the ADS will be as strong as normal dropouts, as essentially they're only as strong as the screw attaching them to the frame..am i right?

My current 2001 Dr Jekyll happily does street and trials, will the ADS dropouts be as strong??

cheers

    If your current Dr Jekyll is fine, why do you want the newer one?

    I used to have an '04 Dr jekyll for dirt jumping and general mentalness, didnt have any problems with the dropouts whilst i had it.

    Im running 24" wheels, so with the new 24" ADS drop outs i can have a 24" specific frame... and its gonna be free. Then give current Dr Jekyll to my brother.


    Sorry if wrong forum.

    Are but now you haveish made it a techish topic.

    the 24" drop outs do make it better for 24 wheel than using the 26" drop outs.
