Keywords: chain driveshaft alignment


One of the big problems with chains is that the alignment of the sprockets
is crucial.  Even a small missadjustment can cause problems.  The amount
of missajustment I speak of is less than the manufacturing tolerance of
the alignment marks on the frame.
A few years back in a cycle mag (Cycle world?) the was an article about this.
To correct the problem,  someone had build a tool that let you do a really
good job on te alignment.  It was a frame that mounted on the wheels of the
bike,  and (due to teckie magic) exaggerated missalignments.

BTW,  my cycle has a drive shaft.
