Hate to go all "amey" on everyone, and build a bike around one component but I have a 29" wheelset that I built for a project, that I didn't complete. So I have a fairly nice 29" single speed wheelset that I want to use on a single speed mountain bike. The main problem I have with horizontal drop outs is the awkward "getting the wheel out/taking the brake off" when you puncture.
My current fav is this
It has an eccentric BB, and looks alright - does anyone have any better suggestions to consider?
