Hello everyone,

I'm a rookie frame builder.. only have 3 frames under my belt. I'll soon be building a couple more frames, and would like to go the thru axle route.
I was thinking of getting these modular dropouts https://www.bikefabsupply.com/rear-d...-x-142-m12x-10
Or these dropouts https://www.bikefabsupply.com/rear-d...th-rack-bosses
Anyone have any experience with them? I like the first one because if the hanger gets super damaged for some reason, I can swap it out.. but the other one comes with integrated flatmount..
what dummy thru axle should I get? I've been looking at the ones at Anvil Bikes, and I suppose the one I need is the 142mm x 12 (not syntace)..

AND... please excuse my super rookieness and ignorance, I'm intimidated by these flat dropouts (https://www.paragonmachineworks.com/...mm-skewer.html) that you have to also weld what i suppose are called caps.. which I have no clue how to do... I suppose it would be ideal to buy everything from Paragon, since their dummy axles are made to work perfectly with their dropouts..


Thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks!
