Adjusted the slack on my chain and was setting the rear wheel alignment; I read through the thread on the string method and got it as accurate as I could without an assistant
I read a couple other threads mentioning that you can measure on both sides of the swingarm and set the measurements equal. I thought I would do this to check but im not sure which measurements im taking;
Do you measure from the center of the swing arm bolt to the end of the swingarm itself? Or to the end of the swing arm cap, or to the adjusting nut, or all the way to the end of the adjusting screw? Or does it matter which one?
I also read somewhere that a member just counted the remaining threads on the swingarm screw until they were equal, does that work too? If thats true I need to readjust I have 7 threads on the left and 9 on the right.
I did slightly adjust after getting it close with the string so that the measurements from the center of the axle bolt to the end of the swingarm are equal, but as I just mentioned Im not sure if this is the correct measurement. When I do it the threads arent equal, and the hash marks arent exactly equal either (though these are notoriously inaccurate anyway)
Thanks!
