Anyone know which one it is and where to get one on-line?

From what I hear from Spesh dealers, the one to go for is the one from Wheels Manufacturing instead, as the Spesh ones are made of cheese!

No point having a strong one though, and wrecking your mech or frame, is there?
But yes, they are a bit cheddary.

If you go for the Spesh one, it's a type G if I recall.

PP, from what I gather, they break when they shouldn't rather than when they should. If that makes any sense at all!

I've got a Wheels one waiting for me in the shop to collect on Saturday morning (As well as one of their excellent universal fit emergency hangers, great for group rides when someone's bound to snap a hanger and not have a spare!)

CFH - I've had a Spesh before and did a couple of hangers on that, then one on my Yeti. I don't recall it being anything where I thought "That shouldn't have broken" but yes, I see what you mean.

The Yeti one, and one of the FSR ones were sticks through the wheel, so that's fair enough. The other FSR one just bent after hitting a rock in a slow topple-off IIRC

I used to get mine off Pilo(CNC machineed bicycle parts) on Ebay, from Isreal of all places, they were cheap when the Pound was stronger, no so much now.
