Theres an interesting physics thing. when the torque centers around the Disc Brake caliper
and the axle swings around that new torque center
and out of the dropout.

Innovative builders have made forward opening dropouts, and just putting the caliper on
the front of the right blade, to cure that.

Mass market sticks with the usual stuff..
