MMM Perhaps correct Jack with the offset, i figure if mine has one it would show in wear on the rear tyre, as if the chain is straight and not the tyre this would be the case id say(maybe too minimal too see).
Not sure if a long straight edge would tell the true story if run along the sprockets and all the other parts in the way removed.
In my particular case due to my weight ive damaged several chains-sprockets with stretching over large bumps,hopefully ive fixed that issue now with better suspension componants.
This guy has some good tips on how to adjust.
