  It looks identical to a chuck I bought from Topeak so maybe they have spare gaskets.

  Never seen a QR rear wheel for track frames with 120mm OLD. I am not sure they even exist. Nearest would be a QR wheel for an old 5/6 speed bike with a OLD of 126mm which I guess could be made to fit with a little brute force.

• Which derailleur hanger?

  My LBS has a chart on their wall with about 50 different derailleur hangers which gives you an idea of how it is.

  I assume you’re talking about the left side bar end shifter controlling the front mech. This is friction controlled not indexed. So I guess you’re saying the friction is not holding and the spring in the front mech is gradually pulling the mech over and the chain moves to the small ring.

  So, you need to take apart the shifter and see if it is assembled correctly and all the parts in working order. There should be an exploded diagram of the shifter online, googling will help.

  Interesting rear cluster arrangement there - never see that before.
