I know that when I'm adjusting my chain I am supposed to make those plates line up with the small marks on the swing arm on either side to keep it in a straight line, BUT! On one side the plate is fixed to the bolt head, and on the other it is loose when a noticable amount of movement! I loosened the nut too much last time allowing it to move, and it is too marked to find its previous place, and too difficult when tightening the nut to make it stay still!?

Hence how can I tell my wheel is properly alligned?

Thanks, Tom.
