    I use a vernier to measure how far the block is from the back of the swing arm.
    Very simple and accurate.

    Correct rear wheel alignment relies on may variables. Who's to say which in is correct. However, the best one is the old fashioned string method.

    But, but, but...he says on the video the string method is not the favoured option due to human error :confused::rolleyes:
    I bought one of the alignment tools from ebay for about 3 quid which works very well ;)
