Aren't rockers modern equivalent of this?
Rockers are an alternative, but I'm not sure they're any better if rim brakes are used. Horizontal dropouts are lighter and less complicated.
Thanks for the leads.
Adjustable dropouts mean you don't need to centre the wheel and retension the chain every time you have the wheel out, even with rim brakes, but that's hardly a massive problem.
Forward facing horizontal dropouts with adjusters should be the same.
