[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 661962, member: 22283"] I agree withyou 100% jag. Alignment of the sprockets is crucial to both chain and sprockets lasting. If I read correctly, you had the snail adjusters at the same mark on both sides, yet the plane of the rear sprocket missed the front by over 1/4". Obviously the snail adjusters are out with one another. Or, your method isn't quite koser. Did you then adjust until your light was dead on the front sprocket side? And then, how did you finally reach correct tension after you re-mounted the chain, while keeping the difference between the mismatched adjustment ticks? I'm not saying that a laser alignment set-up won't work. It obviously will if done correctly, and with great precision. I just don't trust "keen eyeballing" when you are involving such a method. I do know that I would double check my laser method with a straight edge to confirm it, especially if I found what you say you found. You would only be about .7 degs. out of square to be 7mm off, from rear to front sprocket. This would easily be fixed with a screw adjuster, but how did you accomplish it with the cam? Now, if you want to go for a poor mans laser method, you could purchase a laser level. They are now available in pocket level sizes that magnatize. If you have a steel sprocket you could just place the level on the side of the sprocket and aim it at the front. ( you could also just hold the level flat on the rear if you have aluminum) You need to know what the distance is from the flat bottom of the level to the light center. Then simply hold a tape measure or rule out from the face of the front sprocket, rotate the rear until the beam hits the rule, and take your reading. [/QUOTE]
