I should have said that I did use the DAG-2 to make sure I had gotten it back where it belonged

You will want to use the Park Tool DAG-2 to align the hanger after gently spreading the dropout to spec. Probably a job for a good shop.The dropout is malleable and will be fine, done right.

I just took a prybar, padded it with a rag, and went at it: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/frNJ7s6ARvifc5kfr3C8UNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink Eric Dublin, OH On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 7:16 PM, cbone97 <cbon...@gmail.com<mailto:cbon...@gmail.com>> wrote: I'm preparing to build up the Sam H. I bought used here now that my tires, cables n' stuff are in from Riv. Some time after the frame was delivered I noticed I could slide the rear hub in because the drive side is "pinched" shut just a tiny amount. You can't tell by looking at it. Could've happened in shipping, I don't think the seller knew, and it really doesn't matter. I just want it fixed. In harnessing the power of allmighty google, it looks like most folks suggest just gently leveraging the dropout back open. Any experience or advice with this? I'm not afraid to try, primarily just wondering if I should apply heat or if there's a better method. I wanna be careful not to open the dropout too much. Thanks in advance. Hopefully I'll post pics of my first Riv beautifying the Katy trail soon. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
