I'm sure I read a post somewhere by Mr Moooooore,
saying it's best to get the tracking done with 2 deg in or 0.2 degrees toe in ?

does this still stand?

and which was it

Any post I've made will have said 2mm toe in, since I set steering up using parallel strings.
Set the toe so that the front wheel rim at each side is 1mm further away from the string at the front than it is at the back.
