Anybody got experience of adjustable drop outs? I noticed that the rear wheel was out of alignment / rubbing when building up a frame. Unfortunately, the bolts for the adjustable dropouts seem to be made of the weakest metal known to humanity. On each side, one bolt just about releases. The other on each side (the lower ones) have rounded under very little pressure. They already weren't in particularly great condition.
The main issue is that the wheel is rubbing against the frame. Any solutions aside from drilling out the bolts to realign?
