Using QR wheels on a frame with bolt on hanger and hanger compatability

[cyberknight]

I have been given a bike frame with a bolt on mech hanger that pulls the hub forward a bit on the drive side so i have to manually set up the wheel so its straight by leaving a gap on the non drive side .
is this safe to ride on a QR wheel?
I know the old bolt on axles were fine as they were held tight but i have never used it on this sort of wheel.
How would i get it so i can level off the wheel without eyeballing and make it so it cant move please?

The hanger i have been given looks like an old SIS type and will it work with a 2300 rear mech ?I have considered putting another mech hanger on the other side upside down to level the wheel out.

See the reply made on the CTC Forum just now ... or :

It's fine - I've ridden my Galaxy with a bolt on hanger and QR wheels for thousands of miles.

If you are worried about wheel alignment you could get the "shaped spacer and bolt" from a bolt-on hanger and fit it in the LH drop out with a small retaining washer - that would then let you pull the wheel into the dropouts and it should be centred. (BUT beware it will add to the weight of your bike

Had a look on flea bay and i can get a hanger the same as fitted for £3, ordered one and i will see if i can use part of it to level up the wheel.
