Could someone please explain whether it's more important to have correct belt alignment or correct wheel alignment?
On all other websites, everyone talks about wheel alignment and frame alignment and using strings and 2x4 planks extended to the front wheel to make sure everything "tracks" properly.
Perhaps belt and wheel alignment come out to be one and the same on a Savage, but has anyone checked? If not, shouln't the emphasis be on proper wheel alignment - something that affects handling?
I can't help but think the belt is gonna eventually "wear" toward the center anyway, and therefore "wheel" allignment is the goal (let the belt wear and track as it may).
I don't really know the answer to this, but would like to. Any experts on this matter out there?
