Dragon Ends™ are unique front and rear ends designed for fixed-gear and single-speed road riding or fixed-gear track riding.
Dragon Ends™ are water-jet-cut from 3/16”-thick, normalized 4130 steel plate (about 90,000 psi tensile strength) and provide a generous length of tang on the rear for retro-fitting to an existing steel frame or creative sculpting for your next purpose-built frame.
Each set of Dragon Ends™ comes complete with two front and rear ends without eyelets, front and rear stainless steel, inner and outer axle clamping faces. Assembly required. Stainless steel clamping faces must be silver-brazed (56% silver brazing rod recommend) and may be polished or wire-brushed and left unpainted.

- Investment-cast from 17-4 PH, corrosion-resistant steel.
- Can be silver- or bronze-brazed.
- Braze between 1050° F and 1900° F without loss of strength.
- Light-weight and super-strong: 130,000psi tensile strength!
- Ductile and durable: 15% tensile elongation!
- A range of finishing options: paint, bead-blast, or polish.
- The Super-Light version are the lightest, high-strength-steel dropouts available.
The unique design of G.P. Wilson dropouts encompasses graceful curves, cutouts, thinness, light weight, corrosion-resistance, and durability – a combination made possible by the nature of the material used in their manufacture and post-casting treatments. No other dropouts offer the combination of low weight and durability of G.P. Wilson dropouts.
G.P. Wilson dropouts may be brazed at temperatures from 1050° F to 1900° F, without serious structural degradation, using silver- or bronze-alloy filler rods with appropriate fluxes.
G.P. Wilson dropouts may be finished in a variety of ways: prime and paint; sand and buff for a chrome-like finish; 0.0005” electro-polish for a shine more brilliant than chrome; sand-blast for a matte grey finish; and glass bead-blast for a frosty white finish.
Available as a set of front and rear dropouts in Standard or Super-Light versions.
