Whats the deal then?
Allows you to take up the slack of a chain for a SS/Fixed conversion in a regular dropout frame.
Do i need to use a WI sprocket?
No - any freewheel should do.
Do i need to use a screw-on freewheel?
Yes
Do they slip under heavy force?
Can do. I used one in Ritchey dropouts. The curved profile of the dropout was not flat enough to adequately tighten up the bolts 🙁
