Amir, They were once common on track bikes, even in the US - although in the more distant past, many track frames seemed to have integrated axle positioning screws. You still see them used, especially on Keirin bikes. For all I know, the NJS mandates their use in those events. I once managed to find the NJS competition regulations, but the text was all in Japanese. Amir, don't you read Japanese? Cheers, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA), where you can find plenty of Keirin Beer, but no Keirin racing
