I bought a Park Tool here for a good price. Works great! Should have bought one years ago. As David Kirk mentioned, threading a wheel into the hanger works very well. |

There's nothing to align.
Those derailleur hangers are aluminum, and tweaking them weakens them considerably. They're not designed to be bent, unlike steel dropouts/hangers. As has already been mentioned; buy a couple spare derailleur hangers and always have one in stock.

The rule of thumb is that if a Al Rd hangar can survive being bent back into shape then it can survive being used.

I have a HAG. MUCH nicer than the Park that I use on the van. A hanger alignment tool is pretty much a 'buy it once and have it for a lifetime' kind of thing so it makes sense to buy the nice stuff and not half-arse it. M |

You already have the crank and brakes. I say go for it. Zero regrets here.

On Modern carbon bikes, hangers are SO soft..a decent der hanger alignment tool is essential. As is a torque wrench and spoke tension meter...If ya build or true wheels..and a decent truing stand, and a decent dishing tool, and a........you get the idea.

There are a couple variations on the theme shown in YouTube videos. Friar's seems the most straightforward. The other I recall was almost a reproduction of the Park tool.

I just bought it. In communication with the seller, he stated that all their tools are made in El Cajon, CA. So win/win inexpensive and MUSA...
