i taken this road before, and didnt work like i wanted it to. it may work for others, but when i tried it i thought i had the tension perfect, but when i went MTBing it would skip a tooth on the climbs. after that i ditched the idea of trying to work with vertical dropouts for the reason above plus more... if you do get the tension perfect by playing with gear combos and/or a half link, you're stuck with that combo! i like to have the freedom to change ratios.
