Thanks for the update.
Q-factor is indeed important. I've found that my heel clearance is pretty tight on the stays. if TA dropouts made this worse it might be an issue.
Hopefully most hubs continue to be available with different end caps. I was playing with the idea in my mind that I could ask to have the dropouts changed when my bike is in for paint touch up later this year, but maybe not worth the hassle.

It's now an option. Personally, I'm still a fan of 135qr for this sort of bike, easier to secure, easier to maintain narrower q factor and so on, but I know there is no point in fighting the flow of industry "standards". We are also doing a rohloff option, with removable drop outs which let's you swap out to any of the common standards as well as rohloff. Excuse unedited photo.
