Hi
Will be getting a singlespeed kona soon and just wondering if anyone has any experience with the rear dropouts? Like this:
I see there are two allen key bolts but also another screw of some sort coming in at a right angle to these (which must be a guide to how far back the wheel is). What is the general process for changing a wheel does the whole lot need to be loosened and repositioned each time? I've always had BMX style dropouts in the past so just wondering how this works.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, works fine.
The dropout is vertical so you don't need to loosen anything other than the hub qr to remove the wheel.
none of it needs to be undone to remove a wheel.
the two bolts fix the slider in place and the long bolt at the front stops it moving under load.
once set up you just treat it like a normal mtb drop out unless the chain wears enough to need a bit more tension.
Great, thanks very much.
