Ultegra Deralliure

[Jimmy Welch]

Other thought… Is the QR open and not closed?

Open

Now you’ve broken the hangar. You may as well unbolt the derailleur from it and remove hangar. Can you get wheel in without hangar or derailleur in place? Don’t use lots of force as you clearly did recently to break hangar.

I'll give it a go later on and post a video cheers mate

Ask your mate to try? Has he never put the wheel on it?
There can be a knack with some, on my steel frame I have to ease the drop outs slightly apart for the QR to seat

Is it QR ? Try taking the whole skewer out of the wheel so you know that it's nothing to do with that ?

How do you know it's the right length if you haven't got it fitted in?

It's was all fitted , working well been on a couple of medium length rides all good , I took the back wheel off to fit a little grommet on the down tube and had a Gordon Ramsey trying to get the back wheel back on and pop went hanger

All this aggro to fit this bit of rubber in the frame

That's how it starts.

If only I'd have made a brew , took a breath first , story of my life

PS looks like frame clearance is tight - slightly too big tyres allowing you to get the axel in properly ?

I have a very tight race frame that I can't go bigger than 25c - just 4-5mm brake caliper clearance.

Deflate tyre ?

Got to phone me mate now and say can I have the spare hanger , he'll say have I crashed the bike , no I was trying to fit a micro dot of rubber to a tiny hole and wrecked the rear mech

You know what that's it , the wheel was up against the brake blocks that's why it wouldn't drop in , that's the reason......hallelujah

Whoop - lots of modern callipers don't have the cam lever to open them up - have to do that with my brakes every time.
