no i quite like it (covers the marks on the dropouts so i reckon its the correct length now ) it just got me thinking has leary or fiola ever blamed a defeat on his chain being too long/short and stormed off in a hissy bitch fit , what i mean is , is it a consideration when building a bmx most bike have fixed dropouts racers mtbs ect in my experience so moving the rear wheel effectively changes the geometry of the bike does the slotted drop out have a practical application eg small riders front of the drop out big riders back o the drop out? , i cant see a reason why you would want a bike to be unstable in the air so why include a slotted dropout
