how sensitive is the adjustment i.e. how much difference will one turn of the adjustment bolt make?

This is a pretty serious place to do the job correctly,You don't need to make any mistakes doing this type of wrenching.First set the wheels straight,then loosen jam nut,tighten(righty-tighty)BUT DO NOT TURN IT TO FAR! make a fist look at your hand the high spot of the gearing is in the center,just like your knuckles are the high spot of you fist,if you try to tighten and you are not centered you will cause the gear box to bind, not good if you are making a turn! You can do this just go slow.JNT
