you know what, the whole things sucks.
My wheel is up nice and tight with 50/19 and 50/20, but they are my road gears and I don't need tight clearances, if anything a longer wheelbase would be a nicer ride.
With 50/15 and 50/16, my track gears, the wheel only just sits in the dropouts, well outboard, not ideal for the track.
so it's compromise, or take another chain (a link smaller) in my bag every week.
I can't imagine the snaplinks lasting too long in that situation, or the drivetrain wearing evenly..
