Exactly, UDH rotates. Linking the derailleur to the stiff and strong UDH axle assembly strengthens and stiffens. This could change failure modes like many bike modifications (including a full mount derailleur), but the UDH dropout will still rotate on impact like it should, and the brace does not stick out past the derailleur body (it's not a new snaggy bit).

The UDH is sacrificial, but it doesn't protect the derailleur it protects the frame. Sometime people think the replaceable derailleur hanger is to protect the derailleur. It is not, it protects the frame. One of the potential downsides to transmission is that without a sacrificial derailleur hanger, there is more potential to damage the frame (or hub) in a crash.

It's designed to rotate to hopefully move the derailleur out of the way.

You’ve updated/re-invented the North Shore Billet hanger banger! I used to run them on my street trails bike in the early 2000’s. I had a Chris King 135mm non disc hub upgraded to fun bolts with the outer washer removed to hold the hanger banger on. It was a near perfect fit. Neat! Specialized later copied the design.

No. Replaceable derailleur hangers are designed to break to save your frame not your derailleur.

It was already covered that this isn't a new concept, Specialized sold it as well, what is new is making for UDH so all bikes can use it. Down get so upset

Looks awesome! Reminds me of the old Specialized derailleur buddy. It's obviously printed, but out of what material? Can't tell if it's metal or plastic.

12/20/2023 1:24pm I would love to get one once you make the measurements. DM me your venmo or something, would love to get one later on.

Yes, I just haven't measured one yet - pretty much the same thing just needs adjusting for bolt length.

12/20/2023 12:19pm Think you could do something with Shimano derailleurs? I would rather not have to replace the XT derailleur on my parkduro bike every few months.

Eagle derailleur was feeling left out - so I made a thing - replaces the washer on a standard UDH dropout with a "Brace" that links the rear derailleur for strength and stiffness.

What's even more about that 'pedal concept', most of their page photos are of riders on clipless set ups.

So now it’s tacky shoes and grippy platform pedals that are causing us injuries. Got it... I suppose these might give your bike the feeling that there’s some flex while cornering and stuff no? So many questions.

The lack of information on the Push fork really "twists my nipps" too. But I speculated ~$1k+ on their new SV shock and they surprised us all with their price point (I wouldn't call it a bargain, but it was below expectations). We may yet have hope for the fork pricing. This is a new world of deflation, probably why they haven't released yet.

Yup, that's why I brought him up. Building and testing his ideas, and showing failure modes. His righteous tone is grating, but he's a nerd doing the work.

new Michelin tyre coming out in the new year - “Wild Enduro MS” Following suit of lots of other successful tyres on the market with the 3,2,2 centre knobs and consistent side knobs looks like a mix of DH22, Assegai and Magic Mary 👌🏼 hopefully they do them in the normal wild enduro casings and not just the racing line ones which are like 1.5kg each 😂

Hehe, I'm a little disappointed dolface hasn't posted an explanatory cartoon (a la sneak peak) showing the difference between the two words.
