Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

My chainline is off by a little....pretty hard to notice via the naked eye and it runs smooth, but it IS off. Should I just not sweat it??

Bikes: so many

IME, if the chain line is off it will increase the chances of the chain coming off. If it's only off by a tiny bit, it probably won't make any difference. Might be something to think about if you're not using a brake.
