My grandson has just broken the rear derailleur on his bike (GT Aggressor) and I have been tasked with the job of fixing it
Sadly the local bike shop closed early this year.
The current one is a Shimano Deore derailleur but I am wondering whether there is a cheaper alternative to this. My daughter bought him the bike last year 2nd hand for only £30, so i don't think i want to be spending more than that on a small part.
he's not that keen a rider and was probably only using the bike recently during the summer holidays ... it's quite possible it won't be used again until next year, even when fixed.
I see many derailleurs online .. are all 7-speed units the same ?
Any recommendations please ?
thank you for any advice
