Help rear derailleur hanger broken

ScottStorm

Hi,

The rear derailleur hanger snapped off my '09 ironhorse warrior 1x today, I understand that the majority of the posters here are road riders but I hope somebody might be able to point me in the right direction to get a replacement?

I have looked on the internet but cannot find anything. I looked on derailleur.com but no match:(

any advice would be apreciated, bike was purchased from wiggle so going back to the dealer for help is not really an option.

I believe the hanger is bike specific? If not and a rear derailleur comes with a hanger that fits multiple bikes I would consider upgrading from the Shimano Acera derailleur on the bike.

The hangers are frame specific. Did you try Chain Reaction Cycles - I think they have a couple of pages of differnet hangers. I tried looking just now but couldn't get on to the site. I think they might be under "frame spares". Good luck.

+1 try chain reaction, they've a massive selection of hangers, wiggle.co.uk do some and BETD do a good selection of hangers for a wide variety of makes & models

I broke my rear derailleur hanger on my Cult mtb. Its and imported mtb from Slovenia. Tried to get a replacement in cyclesuperstore and the cycle inn. Even though the derailleur hangers they had seem very similar to the original they just didnt suit the frame.

I would advise calling wiggle if they cant source a replacement for you they should be able to give you the manufactures contact details. You should try and purchase a couple if you can.

Iornhorse use the same hangers as kona and Carrara for most their bikes. Its a 38 or 39. If you live near a decent halfords branch they will stock them. I'd recommend the coolock branch as I've gotten hangers for my kona there on a sunday before.

This happened to me only last weekend.
Sometimes the internet is not the best way to get things, this is one of those times, i wasted time trying to get one online then just took the broken one into the shop i bought the bike in and he had one there which i got for a tenner. Keeping it local is sometimes the way to go.

I also tried halfords, they had next to nothing and would need to order it.
The guy in there was very helpful though.

Thanks for all the help,

I've placed an order online for 2 hangers and am now in waiting mode. Of course the sun has been shining all day and me without my bike:( oh well beers and a bbq instead then:D
