I can see that you're thinking the wheel could be tipped over from top to bottom if one adjuster went one way and vice versa, but I think adjusting it nipped up, as above, would keep that under control?
Yep, that matches my thinking.
If the spindle can remain locked to the eccentric cylinders during adjustment then the inaccuracies that I was anticipating would be avoided.
Its not easy to tell from the pics whether this is the case or not, but my concern arose from the "not" possibility.
I'll have a closer look to see what's what next time I get the chance.
