Sorry couldnt work out how to insert a photo so the link is above.
My sons Ridgeback MX2 is fitted with a Shimano TX51 and 7 speed with megarange
I usually adjust the H& L adjusters and the gearchange has been great but recently the gears havent been changing properly and the chain was jumping off the front cog.
When I inspected the rear derallieur the bolt ( by the blue arrow) was loose so i tightened it up but the derallieur looked bent so I thought I would replace it as its only £10. but then i became unshure whether I need a Direct fit or a hanger.
Am i correct in thinking that the part by the red arrow is the Hanger? or is it part of the bike itself? ( ot does screw into the frame and does not seem to fit as flush as the other bikes we have)
if so would i be better off buying just a hanger? (and if so how do i work out which one?)
or should i just go for a "package"
