All this focus on dropout alignment and using "H" tools to check and/or correct, is nearly meaningless here. Drop outs not being parallel is the least important aspect of alignment, there's no bike steering/tracking issue when the drop outs are only non parallel. But since we have the tools to see non parallel drop out condition we tend to place importance on it and under value the other alignment aspects (which have far fewer tools to check for). The only "safe" aligning is by removing drop out slot material, the filing that a couple of us have mentioned. And this blade length adjustment will only correct one aspect of misalignment. Andy
