Did anyone track down a derailleur hanger for the Marley 290? Getting the bike out of the car, it fell and the derailleur smacked full on into the pavement.
In the space of 2 seconds, one perfectly indexed bike transformed into one that skips in all of the middle gears. Absolutely raging.

Drop GeForceJunkie a message. See previous page
Wow Steve, what a pic!!!!
Is that fork sticker pink?
No believe it or not those fork decals are burnt orange . The vimto was neon pink 🙂 That was taken at 7.45am today off Loughrigg fell over Windermere . A play in the Langdales is always a fave even more so when you get bussed by two Eurofighters over Dungeon gill.
Further PSA, most of the XL frames and bikes are now even cheaper, and bars and stems are £5 each!
Now with all the PSAs put together I can build a brand new XL white BIG Al for £807.
Ribble dropper
Raceface / SRAM wheels
GX rear mech and chain
SLX chainset and shifter
SX cassette (booh ooohhhh)
Nukeproof headset
Ragley stem, bars, saddle and grips
TRP brakes
Revelation fork
etc
etc
(I already have most of the above).
Not sure what it would be worth in the spring unused? £810 probably 🙂
Finally got around to building, and riding mine. Nice bike, for £170, ****ing amazing bike😁
I made a CAD model for the hanger last night.

Printed a prototype, had to make some minor adjustments, the undercut slot is a bit of a pain to machine.

Tested fitted looks good, very close to the original, although I may make the bendy bit slightly thicker.

Aiming to machine some after work next week at some point.
Good work pal 👍
Thats ace!! Top work
Ian
Nice work
@GeForceJunky I have a stupid question, do you just take loads of measurements or is there some way of taking a 3d image of it ?
I'm not very good at reverse engineering parts, need more practice. For this I used a Aberlink Project X, which is a 2D camera based measuring system, so it roughly picks up edges and gives good measurements on the distance between the holes. I imported this 2D mesh of points into 3D CAD software and then redraw it using the points as a guide. All depths and thickness measurements are done using Vernier calipers.
Thanks
Absolute legend!
It's amazing what some people can do, I wouldn't even know where to start with something like that.
I wonder how many Ragley frames/bikes they've sold over the last month or two, I bet you'll sell quite a few of those hangers.
I'd buy one of those hangers, nice job.

Yes you're rubbish, massively disappointed. 😂
How do I go about buying a couple off you when they're ready?
I finally gave in and bought one when they knocked that extra twenty quid off.. my crystal ball says they won't last forever?
Can you possibly get another 10% with the EXTRA10 code? I thought it only worked on items displaying the EXTRA10 logo on them, but I bought some bits last night without the icon and the code still worked at checkout. Worth a punt maybe?
Sadly the extra 10 code is not working otherwise that would seal the deal...Will keep monitoring stock...
Made some good progress on the hangers tonight. Still the last op needed to add the annoying slot, but should be finished on Thursday evening.

Ooooh, they look way more cool in raw aluminium than black
Wow top work!!
Very nice
Lovely
Incredible work!
Anyone with a crystal ball? There are 8 XL white Big Al left, which hasn’t changed for a few days.
They’re down to £149. But not selling.
Are they likely to reduce them further?
They're an absolute bargain at £149, just buy one at that price, you'll be way more disappointed if you don't and they sell out than if you do and they knock another tenner off.

Mint!!!
Will match my silver components nicely 😉
Don't forget who put first dibs on one. Or two 🤣
I've done a batch of 20, so hopefully that will cover everyone on STW 🙂
I doubt it. I think between us we've cleared out half the warehouse 🙂
It's the panic buying three of everything when you only need one!
Let me know how to pay etc.
I def want one please
Ian
I also cracked and bought one of the remaining white Big Al frames. I don't need it but it looks so good in the pictures in this thread, and I'd kick myself if I missed out.
GeForce - those hangers look amazing!
I'm absolutely in for one of those hangers! Brilliant work.
I’d like one hanger please!
Those hangers look incredible - I assume they are for a Big Al? If so, count me in if you have a spare!
Looks fantastic, I'll have one.
Yes I believe it fits all Ragley ali and steel frames from 2019-2023. I will send out PMs when they are ready to anyone who has asked in this thread first. If they run out I can do another batch.
I would like one , Thanks
One hanger for me please
I'll take a hanger too please!
Ooohh I'll take a hanger too please, they look ace 🙂
Excellent use of a machining centre there! 6061 or 6082 grade?

Don't worry I did buy one of the last 3 and will be building it next week with whatever PSA I have been collecting over the past weeks. It's not my size and I already have a L but might give it to my son or sell in the spring, don't know. Will update the thread.
