trialsquirt Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Why have most manufacturers stopped making vertical dropout frames? They never have the same problems as cams/intergrated tensioners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 They never have the same problems as cams/intergrated tensioners That's right - they're usually much worse... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I've never had any problems with vertical dropouts It means you have to run a sprung tensioner, which if you're a lefty, or sidehop both ways leaves it very vulnerable to damage.

Herbertlemon102 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I still ride a mod with I lntergrated tensioners. Prefer them over cams anyday. Bit of grease on the bolts and it's right as rain. I admit they can be more of a fiddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit they can be more of a fiddle I especially like them on my Echo 24'' disc bike. Had to tension the chain a bit and as I did the exact amount of turning the screw on both sides, the disc is still set up perfectly. I'm not sure if that would be the case with snail cams.
