Title: Geometry check vs tracking?
Post by: berg on February 23, 2011, 10:27:14 pm

Am sure this is a  :stupid: question, but when you get new rubber you get tracking checked to make sure all is aligned.

is having the geometry checked different and if so is it only really necessary after new suspension and possibly walk has been fitted? Can kwift fit/halfrauds etc do this or do you need to have a proper laser rig?

thanks

He's a chap called Tony that runs Wheels in Motion.

He has appeared on here and other forums I frequent and speaks some sense.  :smiley:
