Cobra Framebuilding's video: Dropouts: What You Need to Know Bicycle Framebuilding

As a bicycle framebuilder, you have quite a few options for what kind of dropouts you want your bike frames to have: tab-style dropouts (plate-style dropouts), hooded dropouts (flange dropouts / Wright dropouts), plug dropouts and socket dropouts, modular dropouts (like Polydrops from Paragon Machine Works), and sliding/adjustable dropouts. Today I give an overview of these different options, along with what to consider as someone new to selecting dropouts for a custom bicycle build.
