Another aspect of where in the drop out slot the wheel should be placed is the shift performance. Often, somewhat dependent on the chain length, is that the further back in the slot the axle is clamped the greater the distance from the der's upper pulley and the cogs underside. More cog/pulley gap usually means more sluggish shifting. Andy.
