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

Mines not swap out mooh
It's all bent vice and spanner me thinks that's the general inter web advice

Not great then. Wasn't you considering a new frame?

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.

^ cheers I've got the worst of it out I'm thinking a 10mm piece of threaded bar to close the dropout too then off to the lbs it is

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
