Not sure what to do my welding guru (dad) is away traveling. It's bent and twisted and won't hold a rear wheel :(
Repairers ideas please
When it was bent I was thinking heat and bend but it's twisted gggrrrhhhhh

Is it the dropout or just the mech hanger part... if it's just the mech hanger I'd of thought a big adjustable spanner clamped on and twist it back, bit of careful use of straight edge to make sure it's parallel to the drop out ... drop out too... obviously a bit trickier :(

I would say that if you've managed to bend the dropout... good effort :thumbup:

I'm getting a150 FS once I finish my degree on 3rd of June
I'm thinking of a zesty as grips are a dealer and I trust Matt in there and he was good when I bought and had my enduro.

Big adjustable spanner a slowly twist and bend it back is the way to go, although you should really get the final bit of alignment sorted out using a hanger alignment tool. A decent bike shop should be able to do this.

So after my best efforts the road test ride last week was terrible.
Matt at grips in Rayleigh has tweeked the drop out,aligned the hanger, indexed the gears and tensioned the spokes in the rear wheel
All for £25
When you go to drop a 456 you need to land drive side up all you 456 riders :)
