couple with more questions and then I will really leave you guys in peace from my ignorance! 1) probably nothing but it'something I've never come across, in the picture I've included there appears to be something in the rear dropout, maybe part of the derailleur or it's removal as it has a screw but the way that it appears it seems it would block me from pulling the wheel back into the dropout and achieving chain tension 2) my original intention had be to ride 48/16 but now probably going to keep the front 52 cog and ride 18 at the back. sorry if this is painfully obvious, but despite them being comparable ratios are there are any implications for riding a bigger cog at the front (i know it's only minor), for example maybe for rear wheel skidding? apologies for dragging you lot back into single speed 101 with me...
