preamble: i ride a cervelo p2 (not p2k) with 650 wheels. rings are 53/42 (53/39 if course is hilly). crankarm length 175mm. 8 speed ultegra drivetrain. cassette is (presently) 11-21 (12-23 if course is hilly). wipperman nickel chain.
question: i know not to expect to use the most extreme gear or 2 on either chainring, but how do i make sure my chainline is properly adjusted? the chainstays a pretty short on this bike and the chain starts going on an angle pretty quick when shifting through the gears. it shifts crisp and easy right now, but i want to ensure i'm not putting any excessive strain on the chain (don't want to break it).
