Track ends and rear facing dropouts aren't exactly the same thing. I'm talking about a gap the size of a modern vertical dropout, but facing backwards (one axle location). I guess it might be slightly safer for pros putting down a lot of power, I've had a wheel slip in a forward facing dropout before, was torquing up for a sick wheely. Ended up on my arse with a pringled ultegra wheel. FML
