I managed to break the hanger bolt on my Shadow mech, it kinda split the bolt shaft from the head/washer.
I looked on CRC, and found them, but out of stock.
No problem I thought as I needed some other bits, I'll get/order one from my LBS.
Turns out that Madison don't list, nor sell them separately!
So my mech is buggered - anyone got a spare...
hey i have a broke XT shadow rear mech which i was saving for spare parts. If you can show me a pic of the part you need i can see if its in good condition and send you it.
My email is in my profile
link to the tech docs- might help with describing the part you need
I don't suppose either of those are a medium (GS) cage rear mech are they...?
I'm after a medium cage to swap for my long...

If you get no luck with luke's spares, there was a thread a week or 2 ago:

b r,
I think you will find the bolt is a normal 10mm x 1mm pitch bolt.

PaulD - Agree, but the bolt is designed to break - and currently I've had to send my Ti frame for a new drop-out because the (different) mech didn't break and it took out the integral hanger...
Does piss me off though, that someone has decided its a non-servicable part!
b r,
Thanks for the update on the new Shadow units having breakaway bolts.
I fitted an SRP alloy bolt to an RD-M750 and used it for years on a steel frame with non-replacable dropouts.
When I came to fit the bolt to a newer RD-M760, it simply would not fit as the tolerances had changed.
You could use a std 10mm bolt on a frame with a replacable drop-out in the future, so do not bin the mech.
Regards,
PaulD
what does YGM stand for???
YGM = read your email 😉
youve got mail
Yet again thanks to the wonders of the internet, and generous chaps like Luke - thanks Mate.
Also found that Tibolts do one too.
