Does moving the rear axle in the cutouts change the chain stay length
I have a single-speed with adjustable tabs for moving the rear axle fore & aft for chain adjustment purposes. By adding a chain link or two and moving the rear axle an extra inch aft, do I effectively change the chain-stay length? What effect, if any, does this have on handling? Thanks.
