I have a problem with a rear dropout on my Dawes Kirk frame, its loose, does anyone know what is the best way to rectify this? not sure if it was bonded originally....
Thanks

Is it a replacable derailer hanger? Depends on how it is attacthed. Some use chainring bolts, so you need to hold the reverse side as you tighten from the front.0

Have spoken to Simon Haydn at http://www.kirk-bicycles.co.uk/Kirk.htm
he recommends using Devcon 2-tonne epoxy, so will get some of that and see how it goes, i guess having your rear wheel held in place by glue is not ideal but can not think of another option as the frame is magnesium, so can not weld etc.....0
