User manual available from the download link at the bottom. Thought some of you who do home alignment might find this a good, new alternative. |

Jack Standz.....string alignment is very accurate, race teams use it every day at the track, fast and simple. Best, Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) But, actually that wasn't my point. Yes, string alignments can be accurate when done right. What I'd like to know is whether this tool will produce accurate results. Because it looks fast and simple to use even by a luddite like me (just add your phone). Faster string alignments? Not in my experience. It looks like this Gyraline should be faster. Accurate? Sure, but only with a good competent technical performing the alignment (counts me out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). Simple? Almost perfectly setting up the strings and other things for an alignment versus pulling the phone out of your pocket and holding it in a plastic case against each tire. The download for the android version is free thru 10/29/24. Would like to hear from someone that can verify how accurate you can get with it. BTW I do have some experience with using strings, tape measures, chalk (running line down the center of the wheel when measuring toe), etc. to perform alignments with my dad (good memories). That was over 50 years ago, but it worked. |
