No, it's still coffee time on the Pacific Coast.. ~o)

It's no accident so many bikes sold with indexed shifting systems
are using vertical dropouts.

the pulley to cog distance changes with the axle location in the dropout.
Long horizontal has a variance possible ..


Want to cover a potential fixie or IG hub in the future on a custom frame?
Specify an eccentric BB..

Rohloff other than the retrofit long aluminum arm,
uses a long vertical left dropout . OEM 1 dropout mounted torque tab.

though optional OEM 2 fork tab fits over a bolt head, on the inside of the frame.
the location of that bolt head is to be same as ISO disc brake mount,
nearest hub axis,
so something any framebuilder can measure and plan for.

I do need a drink.. Prost !
