I assume when the frame is being "fixtured", the builder has a preference or can imagine where the rear axle should be positioned. Where would a good builder "see" that axle? Regards, Richard Cielec Chicago, Illinois

I meant when the frame is being built, as the builder is setting materials in the fixture. Same criteria - using the intended drop-out and run the adjusting screw full forward as you described? Thanks. Richard Cielec Chicago, Illinois

using the screw supplied w the dropout, i keep the wheel positioned as far forward as the screw permits. e-RICHIE chester, ct _______________________________________________
