My Voodoo has horizontal dropouts. I have SKS fenders and use “breakaway mounts” on the rear stays so I can quickly pop them off when I need to take the rear wheel out. The breakaway mount comes standard (or used to at least) for the front fender – with the idea that it pops off if you snag something in the front saving an endo. But you can collect or buy spares to put on the back too. I got some off Amazon years back.

I pretty rarely take the rear wheel out of my commuter though. I literally haven’t had a flat for years with tubeless. Last time it came out was about Christmas 2018 when I last stripped, cleaned, regreased and rebuilt the whole bike.

I just undo the hex bolts connecting the rear fender stays to the frame at the rear axle to get the wheel out. I have an On One Pompino with SKS fenders btw.
