The drop out with disk mounts attachment to the stays looks under engineered to my eyes. As it is currently, IMO, it will tend to rotate around the axle, without much bracing between the disk mounts (upper) and the seat stay It would not surrprise me if the drop out works loose of the stay ends. Only if the disk mounts were attached futher up the seat stay would a brace from the seat stay to the chain stay help. And then that would be a very good addition. Andy.
