Dammit in reply to @TRA

I was disassembling my 2005 CAAD 8 last night for a plane ride - noticed the rear mech hanger/replaceable drop out was loose. Lucky as I'd just done a fast last 60k ride with a mate...

Anyway, the two bolts that hold the entire hanger on are tiny 2.5mm allen head bolts. The bolt heads are also a little rounded meaning correct tightening may not be possible.

So, when re-assembling happens should I use some kind of loctite on the bolts or just order new bolts/entire new hanger?

I'd use a little threadlock and then check after a couple of hundred K.
