Was just about to suggest that myself.

Any idea why the allignment is done on the rim and not the cassette? Surely this is what you are actually trying to line up and by going to the rim you are just increasing your margin for error. Would also make for a more compact tool.

 

Actually working on the rim gives you more accuracy in the sense that a small ammount of movement at the rim is even smaller at the casette. so it will be easier to do the adjustment at the rim.

On the assumption that your rim is true.

Yes' date=' but we can assume someone will check that. (I would, if it was my own bike anyway) This is also done easier with the tyre removed.[/quote']

 

 

 

but not necessary. and a proper job can be done with the tyre still on. yes, really.

 

but we are sensitive today

Seems it takes as long to remove a tyre as it takes to remove a light bulb!!!!!!! Sjeesh..... waht is the problem...... not as if you have to check the damn hanger every day..... pedantic to say the worst!!!!!!

For some reason Rapidrise derailleurs are even more so, but once they are set right there run true for ages.
