Want to bring your bike on road trips but don't want to invest in an expensive top- or rear-mounted bike rack? Turn to the Yakima Wheel Fork holder, an affordable wheel rack that saves space inside your car without costing hundreds of dollars. The Wheel Fork does exactly what you'd expect--it holds your front wheel on the roof of your vehicle. As a result, you not only have more room for your gear, but you also keep much of the dirt outside where it belongs. The sturdy wheel holder--which folds down when not in use--offers such additional features as quick-release security tabs, an anti-spin device that stabilizes the wheel, and compatibility with round or square rooftop crossbars.

These "short" Campagnolo dropouts were factory drilled (for weight reduction). I had seen this on some Gios Torino bikes of the late 1970s but very few others.

But notice here there are also two additional holes (tapped for screws) seen extending above and below the usual raised flats surrounding the axle slot. These were intended for the Campagnolo "Portacatena" accessory which was introduced in 1977. This device which allowed a chain to be shifted onto a chain carrier loop beyond the smallest freewheel cog. Just a speedy way to hold the chain in position while changing wheels. Use of that Campagnolo accessory also required a small secondary shift lever to move the chain beyond the last cog. Intrusion of the chain carrier into the rear spacing also mandated use of a 5-speed freewheel rather than the usual 6-speed freewheels of the period.
