whether you would feel a misaligned wheel as a rider is debateable, i suppose it depends how far out it is. but, a misaligned wheel will cause faster chain and sprocket wear. don't rely on the alignment marks on the swingarm, they are notoriously inaccurate. when i need new tyres i go to my mechanic who has two long alloy straight edges, he adjusts my chain and sets the alignment for me, once done, i just make sure when i need to adjust the chain i make the same adjustments to both sides.
