PITA when they need adjusting on trail.
Good maintenance should mean this isn’t necessary… and actually a Phil Wood EBB is dead easy to adjust on the trail, much easier/quicker than sliding dropouts.
Good maintenance can’t stop a chain stretching in one long ride. Only happened to me once but then I don’t do long rides enough ;0)
Otherwise they do the job but in a heavier and more expensive way than track ends.
Possibly so, but there is no better solution to the issue of chain tensioning and compatibility with disc brakes, IMO.
Track ends and correctly designed slotted disk mounts for me thanks.
Only time the brakes need moving are when I fit a new chain.
