I am really surprised, but I changed the set up one night, then forgot about it and was ridding the bike all the next day thinking that something was really up with the bike, and then I remembered that I had moved the axle forward.
It might actually be 18mm as I changed from a full link to a half link chain and I probably shortened the chain by 1.5 links. But still, I was really surprised that I noticed the difference.
