Just put on a fresh rear tire today, figured I'd ask this question. So what's your method of assuring your rear is straight, by sight, dial caliper, ruler, string etc...??

best guess available. I back the tightening screws all the way in then back both sides out equally, its not a perfect alignment but it works.
Now go ask dave about his, and the front alignment too

Eyeball off the rear sprocket. I'm happy with the 17,000 I got out of the stock chain- I don't need to go for double or triple that.

I'm not anal about it, but I know a few who are. For me, it's been all good so far.
