One test is to remove the wheel and place it along side the frame and see if that close axle end fits into the drop out slot, one side at a time. Another test is to reverse the wheel so the cassette is on the LH side. If that works then reverse back and retry.
Generally this type of problem requires looking for the hang up and that we can't do long distance with the photos provided. Andy
I have tried literally everything. Pulling the frame to widen the space between the two drops, slapping the tire, pushing hard, adjusting the angle ... nothing seems to work
I will try to reverse the wheel and see if that works.
Is there any way I could provide better photos?
Please help, im slowing loosing my mind after working on this for over a hour
