Why does rear wheel alignment matter and how sensitive is it?
I changed my chain recently and aligned the rear wheel by measuring the adjustment bolt and other reference points. I also eye-balled the chain.
I have seen various alignment tools, laser, alignment bar etc. I am wondering if that level of precision is necessary and why?
Perfectly aligned chain pulls more efficiently
Perfectly aligned chain wears better
Perfectly aligned wheel tracks and wears better
Safety?
Miss-alignment might pop clip master link?
Is perfect necessary? How good is good enough?
