Gents
Anyone used or opinions on the quickfoot 70 D-Cat ( Dot Laser) chain alignment tool on their LC sprocket? Thinking about buying one off the Bay.
Cheers
Mark.

Ive got one and it's a good tool to have. Im not sure which make and model it is but it's German made. I use it at work and for my motorcycle chain alignment.
I have found that its best to check the alignment over 4 equally spaced points of the sprocket as you sometimes have a little lateral play in the rear sprocket assembly.

I have a Profi SE-CAT laser, but not working over Coventry anymore. If you fancy a ride over to Dudley, you can check your bike with it.

I bought a chain monkey but if you have a chain guard ( most people)
It gets in the way
And now use a hold on the sprocket type much better and they make a big difference to chain and tyre wear

I have a Profi LE-CAT one, there are at least two versions, I went for the solid laser line as opposed to the single dot one, that can still get washed out in the daylight though so you need a garage/shaded area for the best view.

The one i use makes a solid line as well. Ive only ever used it in my garage or in an engine so I've never noticed that pitfall. |

Brill, thanks gents, probably get one now. Bit of a luxury now after all these years of trusting arm markings or in some cases lack of arm markings. Things move on I suppose.
Cheers Rob I'll have a ride over when spare time allows for a chat and test yours.👍
Mark.
