    Evening all

    Long shot but here goes.

    Seems my mech hanger / dropout adjuster / frame might be **** 😥

    The circled little adjuster in the pic stops the dropout insert spinning when you tighten the maxle and also pulls the mech hanger flush with the frame. Mine however won’t tighten, it just spins and as a result the maxle won’t tighten and the mech hanger isn’t pulling against the frame.

    Can anyone tell me if the hole on the little adjuster has a thread and is is perfectly round as mine is thread less and slightly oval. Also is the hole in the frame threaded as this is bare also.

    I can get a new adjuster and mech hanger if need be but I really need to know if the hole in the frame is supposed to be threaded as well, as if so it means it’s stripped 😐

    I hope this makes an ounce of sense, was supposed to riding tomorrow and I have a trip to snowdon next weekend

    No the frame isn’t threaded just the back side mount and screw

    Massive thanks everyone, had those parts in basket waiting to buy. Might give the Rotherham branch a call in the morning, although I doubt they have this stuff in the shops.

    This place really is ace sometimes, cheers loris

    As a side note, was the little stopper threaded?

    Wonder if it was done up too tight?

    legend,

    Seems a bit of a weak spot actually, for saying it is only a tiny screw on a high load part.

    Can you collect stuff from the Rotherham warehouse?

    Only holds the mech hanger in place. No real load through it.

    You can’t collect from je James warehouse, just the stores.
