Last night a twig caught on my derraileur and snapped the hanger in two leaving the rear mech caught in the spokes an the chain twisted through 180 degrees.
I've now bust 2 mech hangers in 7 days, which is 2 more than I bent in the previous 14 years of mtbing.
New hanger for my hardrock cost £15.99, not bad considering the bike only cost £325 new.....
Hanger for my Marin Eastpeak cost £21! which is slightly easier to swallow when the bike cost £1300
Are mech hangers a licence to prit money.
