From Quintana Roo’s website:
“Wind sheer is further reduced with the addition of QR’s unique rear-entry dropouts, (700c only) that allow you to tuck the rear wheel in as tight to the seat tube as you like”
So is the just marketing hyperbole, or is there something different about these dropouts?
Not sure about all QR bikes, but on the TiPhoon the dropouts are rear-entry with front facing adjustment screws that allows you to set the distance between the tire and seat tube cut-out. My rear tire is only a little more than 1/16" from the cut-out. John L.
Cervelo has been doing horizontal dropouts on their frames since the late 1990s, AFAIK. And they have perfected it. Nothing new or unique with QR there.

But judging by this pic: http://www.cervelo.com/images/2004/2004-P3-full.jpg they’re not adjustable.
Mine are certainly adjustable with a forward facing screw on my 2001 P2K, and I believe every P2K and P3 that year and after.
The screw that controls the depth that the wheel can be moved towards the front is blocked by the skewer. I have a P3 and two P2s. All of them have the same horizontal adjustable dropouts.
