That's an interesting observation Dbakl, thanks. That extra "drop" to the dropout might move the jockey wheel that much farther away from the cogs, thus decreasing chain wrap a bit, I guess. When one gets into tinkering with stuff like this, one finds there is a lot more to it than initially apparent. I tend to over-think things, though. That info on that blog is very interesting. I'll have to go back and re-visit my Dancing Chain book and see what I can glean. I really haven't had much of a chance to test this set-up either. Wish it would warm up a bit.
