How anal are you about rear wheel alignment?

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

i use the rear gauges and eyeball it. Im usually not too anal about it but am rapidly getting there after my recent adventures in crabbing

Dude you're whole bike was out of alignment, we had to reset your front forks

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.
