custom made direct mount derailleur hanger for velobuild frame

[zxcvbnmjm]

im currently in contact with a cnc machinist who has experience in producing direct mount derailleur hangers to have some made for my vb-r-168 and im wandering if anyone else would be interested as i would have to reach a minimum order quantity(still under negotiation)

seems like quite a few open mould frames are using the same derailleur hangers too

i have attached images of my derailleur hanger that i'll be using as reference and some that the machinist has made in the past. im planning to have it designed similar to one of those. feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions!

i am still negotiating and calculating the costs but i am estimating they could end up being around $40 shipped

Is it just one of these but with thred on the hanger rather than the nut?

I believe the hanger is the same for the 099. If so, I'm in

Remind me again the benefits of a direct mount hanger.

Remind me again the benefits of a direct mount hanger.

so a direct mount hanger is the derailleur hanger + B-link together in one piece. so supposedly it creates a stiffer linkage between the frame and derailleur which results in more precise shifting. Making it one piece will save some weight too

also they provides more room to remove and replace the rear wheel, enabling faster and easier rear wheel changes

and they look a bit cooler

i think so too. i will confirm with chris

oh yeah, these mounts look very similar to the velobuild mounts. but according to that listing's compatibility list, all of those cube models seem to be mountain bikes? and also it looks like the stopper is in a totally different position. which may put your derailleur on a strange angle?
