FWIW, I prefer "Drop outs" 'cause that's what they do.
Fork tips should stay with the fork where they belong.
Oops, I said "Stay"

You guys keep this up and I'm going to get out my Grammar Hammer.

What if the front fork has holes for the axle and not slots to where the wheel just drops out? This is some simple schit here guys, and there is a very simple reason why these fork ends are called drop outs.

I'm really curious as to what you are actually referring too Bri since someone years ago muddied this all up and then it took off like the wild fires in California. Are you calling an actual drop out a drop out or the prewar fork end a drop out? If you're calling the prewar fork end a drop out, that's the wrong description because the wheel does not drop out. Simple description that's used explaining the type of a rear fork end, so why dumb it down and then having to mention what direction the slot is facing.


Anyone here have an extra pulley with teeth like this one? It has to be a skip toothed pulley, and I prefer the sweat heart toothed pulley like this one.

as my ol buddy timothy used to say tune in, turn on, drop out I don't think he was talking about bicycles, though I really can't remember

1966 was the start of something. Lots of fuzziness after that

Pullys are for belts ropes and cables, not chains
