How do you get your rear wheel back in without 5 hands?

[Andy in Germany]

I've had most of these problems in our workshop with the bike in a nice solid stand. I've taken to putting the wheel in the bike as best I can, tightening the wheel, and putting the bike on the ground then loosening and re-tightening the axle in the dropper. Then I lift the bike again and test the wheel. Motorised stands are useful because I can push the bike down with the stand and loosen/tighten to be sure.

Yes, that's what I do too.
