Looking to covert this KHS solo one SE to 1x. It has a strange (to me) looking dropout configuration. How do I know what hanger to buy? I've only ever worked with bikes with built on hangers on the frame.
Also, theres not much room on the skewer, does that mean I need to get a longer one to accommodate the hanger? All feels about janky.
P.s. excuse the state of the bike, it's from a police seized goods auction

Contact the manufacturer. IF a derailleur hanger exists for this frame, only they will have it.
These are copies of Paragon Sliders, here’s the real deal.

They make them in many different axles, brake mounts etc
Lots of other frames used these Paragon copies, Kona, Ritchey etc
These dropouts will be specific to the manufacturer, you’ll need to replace that one with a dropout that includes a derailleur hanger. I have no idea if KHS did/still makes one, but you’ll have to look to them to see what’s available.
