Setting the bike up

First I set the bike up. Bought two weight balancers:

Then attached the bike with chains and balancers to the floor and set it level with a laserliner:







Measured the alignment of the wheels.









The bike was as predicted on the net, 4mm off. Took out the 2mm rearwheel spacer, and added another 2mm spacer between the pivot bolt. Measured everything again, and again and again untill i was sure. Wheels are in line now. Took the bike for a spin and everything way better! But still.

Leveled the bike out again, and watched the balances: 6kg on the right and 4kg on the left, wich means, when the bike is level there's a 2kg tendency to fall to the right!
Started to add lead plates on the left, leveled, added, leveled and adde untill balancers were equall. Took it for a spin an tadaaaa!
