Look replacement Dropouts KG281 KG381

[Tatsunoko]

Hi,

Has anyone found anywhere to get non drive side dropouts for old Look frames. (restoring an old KG281, but Iknow this adjustable dropout was on a few of their frames)

I can find the drive side all over the internet in various replacement gear hanger sites eg. https://www.elanusparts.com/derailleur- ... 81-381-386 , but can't find the non drive side.

I'm sure the power of Retrobike might know more than me and google

All the best,

Will

have you tried BETD?

Cheers Hamster,

Ive tried a few and everywhere does the gear side hanger, but the non-drive seems harder to find! Ive emailed Look, and BETD and a few others. Gives me something to do over winter to find!

A pal of mine got some custom dropouts for his Pace done by a local metalwork firm with a water jet cutter. It wasn't outrageously costly.

Did you find a source? My Kg 386 is sometimes slipping top gear. It is probably just a bad set up or worn chain or worn cassette but, one day I going to need a new drop out, I guess.

Managed to find a pair on a fixed gear forum who was willing to part with them. But they are hens teeth it seems for the non drive side.

Thank you. I hope I don't bend either of mine.
