Greetings folks.

I'm about to embark on some framebuilding having been a rider for as long as I can remember.

I've read the Paterek Bicycle Framebuilders Manual and was intrigued by the jig-less framebuilding method and similarly inspired by RS' posts here. I've yet to build a frame, but plan to in the coming months. My first frame will be standard dropouts.

It got me thinking though since through axles are increasingly becoming increasingly popular on mtbs. There doesn't seem to be any way to correct alignment issues via the dropouts with through axles - you're either dead or your frame is toast. I suppose you could remove the rear triangle and go again, but that's rough. Is building a through-axle frame successfully jigless something folks do?

Thanks.
