Bicycle Derailleur Hanger replacementReplacing a hanger can be a nightmare.
What are the 'rules' when replacing one ?
Here is my 'naive' list for when having to replace your hanger.
My knowledge : 3/10
| Is there a universal/generic hanger ? | No. Your hanger will likely be specific to your frame |
| do the bike makers make spare hangers ? | It seems most don't. CNC machine companies sell copies on Ebay/Amazon etc. |
| How do I identify my hanger ? | If you know the bike make and model and year. But in the end it seems theVISUAL comparison is the most important bit. It has to look very like a copy on a CNC list of hangers |
| Are the generic hangers in shops any use ? | Probably only as a 'get me home' hanger, if that. It probably will fit badlyif at all |
| How many hanger types are there ? | 100+ ? |
| Where should I buy ? | Probably Ebay from a CNC comapny. Check their photo list or send them an email. You could send them a photo of your hanger to help |
| Try the bike maker ? | You could try |
| Hanger bolt | If you still have your old hanger bolt you can use that. If not, you'd be best buying the bolt too. This will be an option by Ebay sellers |
| Price | Expect maybe around £7/$15 without bolt ? Add another £1/$1 for bolt |
