I'm about midway in the dropouts, pretty far away from the seat tube cut out (FTP 08)
What is the advantage to slamming in the wheel/shortening wheelbase?
Is it worth taking out a link/getting a half link?
My chain has about an inch of play, don't want to go any looser

pic related: its about where i am in the dropouts



**p.s:
mods: another time when a question/answer sticky would be useful (for me anyways)
