I have a decathlon aluminium frame bike which I want to convert using a yose power rear hub kit which requires a 10mm axle dropout on the frame.

What shall I do? Is filing safe? I also cannot find any alternate donor bikes with 10mm dropouts..

Perhaps some pictures and measurements could help anyone with specific knowledge advise.
-it depends how much material/support you remove..

You could also fit torque arms to relieve the deforming pressure on the drop out slot.

Filling out dropouts is a common solution though.

On all but one bike I have fitted hubs to , I have had to fettle the drop out for the axle to fit correctly.
