Tyre change/wheel alignment
« on: 31 May 2014, 07:45:08 pm »
Has anyone noticed whether the tyre fitter checks the wheel alignment and make adjustments accordingly or if he just puts wheel back leaving the settings as they came in?

I normally do it myself and check the wheel alignment and chain tension. After a tire failure in France last year  the guy at the garage left the adjusters as they were and just refitted the wheel. (I did a quick check of the chain tension before I left). I would imagine that's what most tire places here would do, but a good motorbike shop might check alignment and chain tension at the same time.
