Yeah I'm totally aware of that, it's just due to the fact that I like to have tight clearance between my seattube and rear wheel and the fact that there's a fair chance that it would be more of a "proper" build than the piled on mishmash I'm riding right now aka putting money into nice components over a fair period of time, I think track ends would be a good investment
