Broken fr mech hanger Now sorted and up and running

[biggs682]

The decision to get it repaired is the right one; as long as the repairer is competent and had an understanding of the loads the bracket has to take under the leverage of the derailleur it will be fine. In fact there's a sort of beauty in a well-repaired machine because a competent repair allows you to continue to use the bike in this throw-away age. That was one reason why I enjoyed owning and maintaining a proper square Land Rover.

I have been in touch with two very respected frame makers , one can't do it due to timing issues is he is going away for a couple of weeks. Whilst the other can do it once he has the frame and identified the correct bracket .

So hopefully it will be fine once repaired , hoping to get it stripped and packed up over the weekend.

I ride 1x11 on my commuter Ti....love its simplicity

Does your left hand brake lever still shift if you decided to change your setup?

No left hand shifter.......its flat bar, so only hydraulic brake lever on the left side

Ceeway frame supplies sell a hanger (see bottom right of page)

I'd look into one of those and rivet it over the existing one after filing the damaged one down. Just a thought.


Forget that I see you now have a fix
