At least you've got some gorgeous scenery! Although i wouldn't recommend hitting those cobblestones again with a hardtail Waw, your back is not going to like that! (the steering rods might retaliate too)
The shifting was much improved with the new derailleur hanger. I think on the ride to Dronten the chain jumped only twice. Theo knew about the problems. I talked to him quite a lot about it. They should have looked at it after I brought it back to make sure everything was ok. Are the bolts on the hanger still tight? They were not easy to reach when I installed the new hanger and maybe I did not tighten them very well? I have also heard that the QV generally has some issues with the shifting on rough surfaces. I am sorry to hear you are suffering problems. I did not have fond feelings generally about the QV, but I know some people find it perfect for their needs.
I plan to avoid a lot of places in Belgium with the waw. I would Ride along most of the canals with it, but definitely not on cobblestones, and ideally not on the rough Beton either.
