Blimey, the devil's in the detail alright! The point is that the wheel is still within the standard range of adjustment As has been said, who here could detect the 10mm difference? Not I.

If Luca's pleased then it's right for him; I guess that's all that matters.

As for chain length, it looks fine in the photo he posted, looking at the adjustment marks on the swinging arm, as Bagga says. I'm sure Moto Rapido have enough sense to use the correct number of links with whatever selection of sprocket sizes to get chain adjustment in the right area.

There is a good reason why I've never seen a duc doing a wheelie on the road.

Absolutely a lil pop is not the same as doing 100mph power wheelies showing off to 15 year old school girls outside the gates at 3pm...................cause that and other sweaty nobs is the only people that are impressed.
