All i use is an old front wheel the type that uses nuts not quick release, same thread as rear derailleur and align by sight, may not be perfect but works well for me.

Yes as I eluded too above already. I’ve had it done on various bikes; a few times. It makes a lot of difference - and of course 90% of the time the hanger wants pulling outwards - having fell / been knocked or got bent inwards toward the wheel……

For weeks.... No months there has been a scratch rattle on my bike that would come and go.
I thought it was mudguards, so repaired them and fettled them - no change.
Then I thought it was a nipple stuck in the wheel rim - swapped the wheel - no change.
Then I thought it was the rear guards, then a seat... No change
I was coming to the conclusion the frame was cracked or a rivnut had dropped off inside..
Then yesterday i went over a rough section of road that usually causes the rattle to rattle and there was a ping and no more rattle.
This is what I found.
Peace at last!
