spode@thinkbikes Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 So.. my rear hanger snapped. I filed it off and then found another hanger and used the quick release to hold it on. It works a treat.However, I f**ked up a side hop and landed on the rear hanger. Instead of it bending, it just popped it off which caused the wheel to come off!!In some ways that's great as the hanger didn't bend, but at the same time - my wheel fell out! I'm not sure which is better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petit_pablo Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I get you so you have a random old hanger in the dropout as a bodge!Still dont think either is great but..... it did mean you could still ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeDotStuffAtOnzaDotCom Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I hope you actually intend to buy a new hanger.Otherwise you may find that being stingy can set your teeth free . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 No, I've left the old hanger in place, filed it down where it burred and then just put the DMR hanger on top of that. I went riding today with no ill effects - I just did the skewer up a little bit more than usual. I'd like to get a proper hanger, but tartybikes haven't replied to my e-mail about it and as far as I know, they are the only people with them.

spode@thinkbikes Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Yeah, I will do. I think I want to get Christmas out of the way first.To be honest, this hanger set up seems to working a lot better now I've adjusted the angle of it. Now if it gets hit, it shouldn't come out.
