Why chassis and frame measurements are essential

Why and when should a chassis or frame be measured?

For your personal safety. - A distorted steering head angle and therefore changed castor is one of the reasons for high speed wobbling
As documentation for insurers and surveyors. - After the insurance has settled, it is difficult to make further claims, e.g. a bent frame
To provide documental validity when selling a used bike. - Legally, every accident or even falling over, must be declared to the buyer. The seller may be required, even after a long period of time, to take back the bike. Arguments concerning the condition of the frame or chassis will be avoided by providing documentary proof
Because it's long been standard practise in the automobile branch. - Wheel alignment measurement of accident damaged cars is routine practise in nearly every workshop

To exclude the possibility of a false investment. - Checking the frame geometry is the first requirement before ordering lots of expensive spare parts.

Or your personal safety. - Minor accident traces are often found on used bikes. To determine precisely the extent of the damage, a measurement printout is required

As an important element in determining the fault. - Defects in frame geometry are easily and quickly detectable with the frame gauges of Scheibner Measuring Technology. Consequently Expensive and time consuming replacement of parts and test drives are avoided
