[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 660992, member: 22283"] Well, I can tell you don't shoot pool, Smit! :) If you do use a wooden dowel,you can lay it on a flat surface and roll it. If it doesn't wobble at all, it is still true. And yes clearance can be a problem if your dowel is too thick. You could also use a 2' steel rule. We can only adjust on two axis'. In a perfect world our CS sprocket will be in the same plane as the rear, but as some of us know, spacers need to be used on occasion with some set-ups. The other axis is what we adjust for with the chain adjusters. Once we get the sprockets true with each other and running in the same plane, we then need to adjust axis B for tension. That is where the controversy between cam/lobe type and screw type adjusters comes into play. With screw type adjusters you can precisely keep your chain tension adjusted in any given situation, with a cam type adjuster this is impossible to do. I do not like cam type adjusters. They leave room for chain tension error and there is no way to correct it. You are either too tight or too loose with a cam type adjustment...well yes, you can be spot-on by using them, but it will not stay that way when the chain does (and it eventually will) elongate. Being exactly correct and having the precise chain sag is a crap shoot at best with a cam type adjuster. Kaw (as well as other mfg's)should seriously think about changing this. [/QUOTE]
