Why would you expect to have to re-index the gears? What has changed, once the RD is bolted back on? TMN to @Rickshaw Phil for the advice to leave the RD in situ when removing the wheel (and for being so quick to spot the nub of the issue and provide excellent photos illustrating the way forward/back).You will probably need to adjust the gears once the derailleur is back on.
No - because you don't have to (and shouldn't) remove it.Is there a video on how to put derailleur back on when removed it to fix puncture ?
Have you removed the wheel before trying to refit the derailleur?Did think it was just case of tightening bolt but can't seem to get the derailleur in shape to be able to get bolt into frame if that's makes sense??
Thanks for all advice given much appreciated ..
you need to fit the rear derailleur to the frame before the wheel is anywhere near the bike, once it is fitted as per the photograph posted by @Rickshaw Phil you can then think about re-fitting the wheel.Find it difficult to understand all that, somebody doing a video on here showing how to do it would help a lot. Sorry to be a pain
