This is my mech hanger:

Seems to happen every 6-8 rides after NO IMPACT. Just look at how thin the metal is on the hole that has fractured!! Anyone else have any issues?
Agreed - usual rubbish hanger ("designer obselescence" IIRC)
Stick a penny washer over it/under the QR nut...for the 3 weeks until yur next bike purchase zOMG WTF111 😛
How will that work al?
Anyone else have any issues?
Well, I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I don't know what to have for tea.
It'll just reinforce the hanger a bit.
but the chain is pulling the hanger forwards so it will just snap!
eh?
How do you know that's what's happening?
Look at the pic its obvious
Could be worth looking around online to see if you find a 3rd party hanger that's stronger?
Might help it stop bending outwards.
Other than that...try different mechs, check gear set-up, buy new frame.
TBF that's a crap design, stupid to have so much metal then drill a hole so close to the side. Is it twisting at all, or just compressing/stretching?
If you know a tolerant welder, might be worth filling in that hole entirely- the front 2 bolts should hold it and that'd remove the weak spot.
Try a replacement hanger from [url= http://www.mountainbikecomponents.co.uk/ ]BETD[/url], they will be manufactured to a higher standard than your original.
never thought of them tbh
Ask nicely for one without the offending hole when you call BETD.
the new ones that brant is sourcing will not have that hole
