    I have a Felt F series road bike and on my homeward commute the other day the derailleur hanger snapped.

    I was passing a cycle repair and sales place on the walk home so I brought it in and, to my surprise, they told me "Can help you, we can't get Felt parts".

    I'd like to sort this over the weekend if possible because I get cranky without my bike, so before I spend Saturday ringing around places I thought it might be worth asking, does anyone know anywhere around Dublin that would stock this part?

    EuroCycles on the long mile road also used to sell Felt bikes (and probably still do)

    I'd go to Eurocycles first in your situation, I gather they are the importer/distributor for Felt, and I know of one or 2 people having to go there after not getting satisfaction from another retailer that stocks and sells a lot of Felts, and they were looked after there.

    +1 for Eurocycles, got me a derailleur hanger for my Felt no bother.

    I had the same issue with a Felt dropout, I went to Wheel worx and got a dropout but when I tried to fit it it did not quite fit
    I went back to the store and was told to just force it as that is what they do, I was not happy with that and got a refund.I then went to Eurocycle but they did not have the one that I wanted in stock. He then went and removed one from a new bike which fitted perfect.
    Service could not of been better

    Eurocycles had the part and I patched her up this afternoon, good as new. Thanks all for the tips.
