not seeming to be rude, but..

Scoot,
Thanks for your post. I have adjusted the chain many times before and don't have a problem with that (although people seem to have different methods which was going to be my question), but it's this 4-5 o'clock position stuff I'm not sure about. This is from a previous thread: "The rear axle position should always be on the bottom half of the clock face (ie below the eccentric axis.) If it is set higher than the 3o'clock midpoint there could be inadequate clearence between the lower run of the chain and the swingarm. You also lose tyre to hugger clearence."
This is what I'm struggling to visualise. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my post
Not wishing to be rude, but I have a Haynes (which isn't too clear in this particular case) but prefer the expertise from some of the club/board members.

Matt
