had my rear wheel out today to give it a good clean and when i put it back (not touching the chain adjusters) i just thought i'd check if its running parallel with the front wheel so i used the string around the back wheel way of checking and i found it was way out
![]() I'm messing around with this now so can anyone help with this? thanks kwak. |

You can also measure from the center of the rear axle bolt to the center of the swingarm pivot. This method will not indicate if somthing else is wrong such as the swingard being bent.

![]() Need you ask?? I don't think it makes a massive difference to be honest, we all corner better one way than the other, this just makes the bike do the same! |

Unless the bike has been dropped (i.e. it is bent) then I doubt the markings will ever be far enough out to cause you problems. Its not the first time it has been noted that the markings method isn’t that accurate, I shouldn’t sweat it!!

the string method down to the front wheel was indicating a inch and a half the one side and about three quarters of an inch the other, i didnt know if this was bad enuf to mess with the handling or not

The string to the front wheel method's incredibly easy to foul up, to be honest.
