I'm glad I found this thread you mentioned in
my thread. I may ask a local frame builder to add a derailleur hanger to my frame because I'm having trouble fitting a rear wheel in. The last cog is blocked by the chain stay. I had a six-speed freewheel in there, and it's always been hard to put it in. I now have a wheel with an eight-speed cassette, and it's impossible to put in. As you can read in my thread, I was thinking of bending the stays, but @
desconhecido suggests that a derailleur hanger may be the better solution.
