i figured this double bend mess out... when the hanger breaks away it drops (the 1st bend), drop out won't close caus of axle
so it bends the front part of drop out

when it's pushed back up, the weakest point (adjuster screw folds) will bends before the the 1st bend

Did you get it fixed then?

When I got mine there was no speedo gear on the rear hub. I soon realized that the frame is made so it fits and if you don't have one in place the frame will compress and cause stress. This could cause some damage so I checked it and the put a spacer in there for support.

don't forget the tricky part!!.. ya gotta anneal the drop out first,, and then temper it hard once again. maybe ya could smash some carbon into it too,, make it Ginzu hard! (grin)
