On the back I glued a 5mm ring (see pic) in the center with which I mount it on the crank.
This piece is much easier to use and IMHO also more precise than a degree wheel.
Excellent post! I have one of those pinion angle tools and the idea of using it never crossed my mind. Thanks for turning me on to an exellent idea.
