Hello

Nearly everything you could want to know is on the parks site: http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help or by searching youtube. Or ask specific questions in here if you are stuck.

Bent hanger could affect chainline and make indexing difficult. Does it look stright without a wheel on?

it looks fine untill the qr is tightened i can see it curve in theres also a little bit of play in the hub (getting a hope pro 2 on monday ) and some play in the jockey wheels ??

sounds like the axle needs spacing better. if yo sit the wheel in the frame un done is there a big gap between the frame an cone nuts ect on the axle. so when u do the qr it pulls the frame in alot
