Chain adjustment/rear wheel height adjustment

["Paul Steinbacher" <psteinbacher@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure everyone knows this but.....just in case. While changing the chain
and sprockets tonight I took the time to rotate the chain adjuster through
it's entire range of motion. There is a substantial difference in rear wheel
height (more than an inch) depending on the direction you choose to turn the
adjuster. This can make quite a big difference in handling I would suspect.
Turning the adjuster clockwise will raise the wheel (lower the rear of the
bike) and turning it counter clockwise will lower the wheel (raise the rear
of the bike). This is from the most forward position of the sprocket. This
is a quick and dirty handling adjustment that you may have some fun
experimenting with.
