Hello all.
One of our group could do with a spare rear mech hanger for the aforementioned bike, but I've tried to Google it and have come up with nothing.
Can anyone help?

Is it not a direct mount to the frame ?

The extra part they give you is what is removed from a standard mech to allow it to fit to a direct mount frame I think.

It is "direct mount" in Shimano parlance, the hanger itself looks removable:

Go out doors would be the obvious first port of call, failing that there's a few uk companies that do extensive ranges of hangars, and will machine you a custom one if you send them yours to use as a template.. BETD is one but there's couple of others

I'll have to have a better look at it then to see what's what?
Never really come across a bike without a hanger before.

I have a Calibre Bossnut and i wanted a spare mech hanger for when im out riding just incase. I searched and everywhere for one and emailed a few companies but they hadnt seen one like that before. I emailed GoOutdoors asking where i could get a spare mech hanger from and they ended up sending me one in the post for free. So i suggest contacting them and asking for one. They were pretty helpful. Mine is the same as the black meck hanger. The silver one in the last pic is not a standard item so maybe its a modded one?

It's pretty likely the same part appears on other frames- the hanger for the Dune is identical to one of the Scott's frinstance as they're closely related frames from the same factory.

Pretty sure the silver one is standard too, as that's s picture of a bike test bike.

Here you go guys. This is what the mech hanger looks like. Maybe someone else can match it up to something already out there. I couldn't find anything that match tho.

2 of the best independent sources, as Northwind says there are a lot of generic ones out there.

Some bikes did a SRAM and a Shimano variant as the mechs were mounting differently/more direct.
