I have managed to bend the mech hanger on a titanium mountain bike. Does anyone know a place that can sort this out. I live in Harrow, West London so preferbaly something in that area.
Cheers
Carefully bend it back yourself with a large adjustable spanner.
As stated above. It should bend back ok just like the ones on steel frames do and you can't on very cheap alloy frames - hence replaceable gear hangers.
I thought about that but the frame cost a few quid and I'd prefer it to be reset by someone with frame building skills.
ti is hard to bend. that said all a frame builder will do is bend it back.
any good bike shop should have a hanger alignment tool and be able to put it square with the wheel.
Girlfriend and myself have Ti frames and just bend it back with the alignment tool. Ti is a lot harder/durable. If it wasn't Ti frames would have replaceable hangers like all the other frames.
try a bloke called vernon barker outside sheffield. hes a frame builder that welds Ti. he fixed my Ti sandvik hummer like a treat.
