The little things that screw into a rear horizontal drop out to act as an axle stop, so as to align the rear axle the same way every time after a flat for example. Not the ones that thread through the back of the drop out though a threaded hole in the frame, the little C shaped sucker that touches the axle in the drop out. They are especially useful for bikes with Rear Derailleur hangers that act as a stop on the drive side, while letting you set up a stop on the off side, thus making rear wheel alignment a snap. My buddies used to toss them on bikes without RD hangers unless they were necessary.
Am I making any sense?
What are they called & where do I get at least one? LBS says they don't have.
