So is there any harm in not using any dropout adjusters, besides fussing with the wheel alignment anytime it's removed? I have a bridgestone 300 with those clamp styles like in the first picture of this thread. I recently mounted up some new tires and could not get them to clear the rear stays unless I removed the adjusters. I haven't finished getting the bike in working order. I'm wondering if this is a bad idea and I should get slightly smaller tires to keep the use of the adjusters? Thoughts? The tires are 27" 1 1/4 panaracer pasela. thinking 1 1/8 would fit fine but was hoping to make this kindof a touring set up.
