amasendeinja Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Not sure if these have been suggested before on another post... White Industries Eccentric rear hub. More expensive option to go as a retrofit, but if you're planning on new wheels anyway, then a worthwhile option. Have no personal experience with them, but believe they are excellent. http://www.whiteind.com/rearhubs.html
Wyatt Earp Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Iron, looks good.No Muppets, those hubs are heavy and super costly.

TNT1 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Horizontal dropouts are not so cool, because you can't use quick releases, Why not?
Jules Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Why not? Well you can, but they tend not to grip the frame as tightly as nuts, and the back wheel is prone to slipping forward.
TNT1 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Well you can, but they tend not to grip the frame as tightly as nuts, and the back wheel is prone to slipping forward. Road or dirt? I started riding on horizontal dropouts (vertical one's weren't even a wet dream yet) and never ever had a wheel creep on me.
Jules Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Dirt. And if your wheel did creep slightly, the derailleur would have taken up the slack in the chain

Stretched@Birth Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Well you can, but they tend not to grip the frame as tightly as nuts, and the back wheel is prone to slipping forward.Unless you use tugs, but they again have a downside, changing a wheel is a mission...
