Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

As someone who's had them since 1967 they are correct as is. Back then some of us trimmed off the part extending behind the dropout so it wouldn't bent when bikes were tossed around. That allowed us to adjust from the inside, and leave them there, while preventing the jammed & broken screws that bending caused, along with stripped dropouts.

BTW- why did you think is was wrong?
