AS FEATURED ON THE WHYTE 19 TRAIL AND 19 TRAIL TITANIUM
The Whyte 19 CNC machined rear dropouts allow stepless adjustment of the chainstay length between 415 and 435mm. The driveside dropout plates are interchangeable allowing the user to choose either a standard dropout plate with derailleur hanger or a singlespeed specific dropout. When using the singlespeed dropout, the stepless adjustment of the chainstay length can be used to precisely tension the chain for a true singlespeed set up.

With the chainstay length increased the bike sits slightly lower giving a more relaxed feel to the ride and also feels more stable on steep, technical downhills.

Shortening the chainstay length raises the bottom bracket height slightly for increased ground clearance, improved climbing and sharper handling in tight, twisty singletrack.
Both dropout plates are engraved with markings to make accurate wheel alignment quick and easy. The IS disc mount is part of the dropout plate so there is no need to adjust the brake calliper following dropout adjustment.

And finally it means (quite uniquely) you can replace the dropouts on a titanium frame, so a major derailleur accident shouldn't mean a replacement frame like some of our competitors.
