using an old spoke as a derailleur hanger alignment tool" - man, that is some classic bike mechanic ingenuity right there. I've been there myself more times than I can count, staring at a bent hanger and not wanting to shell out for the proper tool. It's amazing how a simple piece of wire can do the same job as a $60 specialty item if you're patient and careful. I love seeing people find clever workarounds like this, it's the kind of stuff that keeps the hobby affordable and fun.

Those Park Tool hangers are more like $80 these days actually.
