Bikes: Several, mostly not name brands.

The "string test" will tell you if the rear triangle is in alignment with the rest of the frame. A shop tool like the Park FT-4 can check for fork blade alignment.



And eye-balling the head tube against the seat tube may show if the head tube is out-of-axis with the seat tube.

When in doubt, take it to someone with an actual surface plate or alignment table to get it checked professionally.
