Finally found a pic of my drop-outs in use. I'm going for post mount, rockers. The rocker design means the caliper can be placed within the rear triangle, which is a lot cleaner, means you dont need a bracing strut, and keeps the caliper more out of the wayof knocks from panniers etc. The post mount means I can run a 160mm rotor without any kind of adaptor.
Another aspect of the rocker design is the fact that it mounts the wheel axel inside the rear triangle, Whereas the sliders have the wheel kinda hanging out the back. Not a mechanical issue. But I prefer the way the rear sits on the rockers, from an asthetic standpoint.
