It all depends on the length of the stays, the length of the dropouts, the
size of the tires, and whether or not you use a rear derailleur. All else
equal, of course, with a rear derailleur, forward facing dropouts make
wheel removal easier. One can argue that forward dropouts allow easier
removal
I definitely think that rear-facing track ends allow easier removal and
installation of fat rubber. In fact I can't see a way in which that isn't
the case unless one is referring to the process with fenders.Which changes
the equation.

I have always had the opposite experience, where fat tires exit the frame more
easily with track ends. I had to whack the 40mm inflated tire pretty hard to
pop the wheel past the kickstand plate on the Ross yesterday. Could be the
small sample size of my singlespeeds, though.

Yes, if “much easier” = five seconds less for not needing to move the chain out
of the way. Sardonic grin. In practice, they are essentially the same except
for a wee stripe of chain greese on your finger. But that’s why you ride with
friends, so you can rub that off on their nose. Grin.

I would say it works better—wheel removal is much easier with forward
facing dropouts.

Yes. Either way they face, horizontal dropouts have to be long enough to
tenstion the chair with either cog. If yours aren’t long enough to give the
range you want, you can use two chainrings up front with the same tooth
difference as your cogs, and you’re all set, with an even greater differenc
Can the rear dropout be facing forward to run two single cigs and still allow
the chain to be moved by hand?
