Has anyone had any issues with the derailleur hanger shifting down and stopping the thru axle from threading properly into the frame?
I followed the manufacturer recommendations (loctite + 1Nm torque) for hanger installation, but have found that the added weight of the derailleur is pulling the hanger down despite this.
I'm still able to get the axle through with a bit of jostling, but it takes 10x longer than any of my other bikes and was hoping there was an easy fix that would make wheelset swapping (something I intend to do a fair bit) easier.

Loosen bolt on hanger. Put thru axle on without wheel. Jiggle the thruaxle as to center it and find a smooth insertion path. Tighten bolt on hanger so it stays in place.
Then reassemble with wheel and thru axle with grease. Should be better then.
