My V2 Oregon Trail frame prototype frame is getting made now. I’m hoping October. You will be the first to see it. Maybe we can unveil it on your channel or something. Hit me up though.

I agree, I like to be able to adjust my rear wheel position. I just added the Huffy Primus to the list.

No doubt all the new drop out tech is cool in it’s own right. Personally, I’m not a fan of a fixed drop out with the sliding tensioner. I want to be able to slam my rear tire up tight for a shorter wheelbase. Or stretch it out depending on tracks and conditions. I’m especially not a fan of the sliding tensioner itself. I feel anything that introduces extra drag on the drive train is a negative. With the exception of the ice roller, every single one of these is a plastic shoe/slider. At least go to a roller instead of a shoe. Even better something like a modified esker. And that ice seems overly complicated for no reason. Either have the rear screw tensioners or the roller. At least the ice offers some adjustability. Marshall has maybe the best as far as least complex with adjustability but it still has that slider/shoe. Ugh. Having run a few of these frames my personal favorite is the GT style. So easy to adjust and do maintenance on the rear drive train without all the complications. Of course, all just my personal opinion. Take it with a grain of salt. Or fight me to the death about why you think one is better than the other. 🙂

I was trying to think. I went from the v4 to the v5 and I switched from stay strong hubs to onyx when I upgraded frames. the v5 dropouts are way better than the v4s I don’t believe I had all the trouble you had though. I did loosen the brake every time I moved the wheel because since the mount moved you’d need to re align the brake to center it on the rotor

I was looking into trying to get a custom frame from paradigm out of Australia for almost a year. You can get a true fixed dropout and their frame is just clean. But they never answered me so I went a different rout. The Marshall and maybo are my favs.
