Hi Steve,

Assuming that you mean getting it straight in the frame then it can be bit fiddly as the adjusters are not that accessible.
I use the chain alignment as my guide.  So adjust the chain tension and then look along the line of the chain as you rotate the wheel.  You will be able to see if the chain is straight as there will be no deviation as it runs between the sprockets.  Use the adjusters to get it perfectly in line and then re-check the chain tension.  The wheel should be sitting pretty much in line.  Once you have done this it will be easier next time as you should only need to turn each adjuster by the same amount to adjust the chain and keep the wheel in line.

Dave.
