I'm having a custom bike built, and it will have slider dropouts for singlespeed use. I want the builder to angle the dropouts like my Quickbeam's, so I can change the gears without adjusting the brake shoe height or angle.
The Quickbeam dropouts are angled ~20* relative to the ground, and about 10* relative to the stay. The dropout slot angle ALSO looks like it is parallel to the brake shoes. To my mind, this is the key fact. Is it? The new bike's seat stay angle is more acute than the QB's, and its BB is lower. Do the relative angles not really matter, as long as the dropout slot is parallel to the brake shoe angle?
