Wow... I was quoting from a friends experience... but somehow you can manage to take an actual event and quote it never happened... kinda like people and theyre theories about the non-truths of global warming, the holocaust and the lunar landing. If you think the drive side chainstay is gonna completely keep a wheel from pulling out of a semi-horozontal dropout with slipping hub bolts/nuts, youre assuming, not knowing.
I'm not saying it will always pull out, I'm saying the possibility is 100%... and with Track Fork Ends, it is 0%.

LOL... then, assuming the rear wheel wouldnt pull forward out of the dropouts because there is no force from the crank pulling it forward anymore, you swing your leg back and jam it between the tire and seat stays LOL.
