Van Nicholas Ti frame derailleur alignment tool

Hello
I had a lovely Van Nicholas Euros Ti frame, and some kind fool in a clio decided to try and run me over at 60mph and put me in hospital fro a night (lucky escape to say the least).
The rear wheel had to be taken behind the shed and shot and the derailleur was knocked clean off leaving the bolt still in the frame. I have removed the bolt and noticed that the derailleur hanger is bent by about 1cm.
Was thinking of using an derailleur alignment tool. Can I do this to a Ti frame

My expert opinion is probably.

If it was me I'd do it. Otherwise they would use a replaceable hanger in the first place

^ what he said....Ti has a much higher "modulus of elsticity" ( think i got that right) than steel, and can be bent/flexed many many more times before it fractures and breaks....which is why you dont need a removable hanger....any decent bike shop should be able to do it for you....

any injuries? sounds like a lucky escape indeed...nightmare!

My boss at my old shop has a Ti Charge Duster and has straightened the hanger on numerous occasions

Many thanks. I thought I might be able to do that.
Injuries: concussion, severe bruising to the leg and hips, cuts to the knees and my pride. Nothing that a good dose of morphine didn't fix whoooozzz!
Three others got totaled by him as well, but hopefully the police will come down hard on him.
