I'm after a spare (Or a couple of spares to put my mind at ease!) 'BGRD 1' Mech hanger for a pinnacle evolution 2.0 but i cant seem to find any.

Has anyone any advice as to where or how i might source a few? if i can't find any i may well have to get some machined up but that will only work if the frame i just bought actually has one already on.

Cheers.

    Would have given BETD a plug but can't see a Pinnacle hanger listed though there are some that aren't named.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Evans sell Pinnacle bikes - i guess they would be able to sell you one / give you the part number.

    thanks guys, ive tried emailing both of the above, im just waiting on replies. if i havent sourced any by the time the frame arrives i'll start phoning around.

    Cheers!

    P.s if it comes down to having some machined, what material would be best?
    Obviously they dont wanna be stronger than the frame but wanna be strong enough!

  • try typing 'mech hanger' into ebay, quite a lot pop up and have a nose to see if you can see one thats the same shape (had to do this with both of my bikes as they were unbranded frames! although used crc and betd for the first one) that way if you get lucky wil give you a idea what other frames share that hanger

    They have replied and it would appear it's been a success!

    "Yes we have these in stock,product code WSP001 £15.00 each. These are not available to purchase online but if you call our sales team on 01293 574 900 they could sort one out for you."


    Think i'll be buying a couple of these when i get some spare pennies :)

    That was like pulling teeth trying to source them!
