I put new tires on my Jamis Aurora Road bike today and trying to put the rear wheel back on was a struggle. It looks like the drop out for the quick release is bent in a little less than an inch. Am I asking for an epic crash? or should I just get it on there, shut up and ride? I don't see myself going real fast on it but was going to take it on easy dirt trails with the kids. I don't want them to witness me mangled and broken so advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.

you might be able to straighten it if you screwed a long bolt in there, and used leverage on the free end - if I understand what you are saying.

You need the FFG-2:

You probably won't have a catastrophic crash but will eventually break axles.
