Thanks to RJ for making it. (not 'RT') I've heard of him but haven't really watched any of his videos. This one popped up with a quick google search.

I can understand your worry about tweaking a wheel, but IME wheels are pretty strong and derailleur hangers are not difficult to bend. OTOH, he used an MTB wheel for this... If you're worried about it, you could always use a wheel as a gauge only.
