[QUOTE="Smit-Dog, post: 660974, member: 25436"] I'd be leary of using anything made of wood, especially a broom stick that is frequently leaned against a wall. Wood warps. I also question how to correctly align using the snail/cam/lobe type adjusters found on the KDX. Screw adjusters allow for very granular adjustments, but not the KDX adjusters. I always just keep the cam adjusters on the same number, and make sure the cam recesses are butted up tight against the little nub stops. Seems like the only adjustment option in this case is to increment/decrement to the next number on the cam plate, when the possibility is that the perfect alignment falls between two numbers. While I agree that screw adjusters give you the ability for very fine adjustments, I'd also guess that because of that, there is a greater likelihood for the sprocket planes to be out of alignment. Seems to me that with the appropriate manufacturing tolerances in place, the cam/lobe type chain adjusters found on the KDX should provide sufficient sprocket alignment. I'd think that this would be especially true considering the relatively small surface area of the C/S sprocket. Also, given the fact that a pair of sprockets can be out of alignment on 3 separate planes, a bike's chain adjusters only accounts for 1 of these planes. Thoughts, comments, corrections? Be easy on me, Jay! [/QUOTE]
