Blasphemy I know but I’d like to fit a derailleur hanger to my On-One inbred as I love the frameset but now am tugging a toddler.
It’s a sliding dropout frame, and other than the Problem Solvers emergency hanger I’m not sure what my options are. Any help appreciated.

dmr do do one and it works but you need to be able to make your rear hub bolt on.

I've tried it with 10mm QR but the drop out plus the thickness of the hanger arrangement means the threds don't really extand far enough into the nut.

I guess you could use a standard QR but that would be a nightmare to get all back together ifyou have to take the weheel off.

on that note... every time you take the wheel off you gear hanger falls off 😀

Cotic do/did one that IMO works better than the DMR one.
Looks like this:

Cotic Tensioner

I can’t find that Cotic one. When Flickr stops being an arse I’ll add a picture as it’s not going to be as easy as I’d hoped due to drop out style

I used the dmr one on my genesis day one with a qr but had to modify it to fit due to the wierd dropout shape
