You can also change the "drop" by lifting the front or rear wheels. These are often easier as this will only effect tension on the chain loop to them as changing middle wheel drop often includes messing with multiple chain loop tensions.

We found this out the hard way, we could turn on the concrete with the arm, so we didn't drop the center wheel enough. Competition time comes and boom, we can't turn unless in low gear.
