Hi all,

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

I have a Fondriest Mega Plus bicycle frame from around 2005 that needs a replacement derailleur hanger. I have looked everywhere without success, and my recent attempts to contact Fondriest directly were met with a delivery failure message. Short of calling the company directly (which I will try on Monday), does anyone have any ideas?

FYI - I have tried the Fondriest hanger from derailleurhanger.com, but no joy.

Thanks...

dmg

    Probikekit sell a whole range of hangers, well worth a look on their site. If they don't have the specific one you want you may find something as near as dammit or perhaps needing a small amount of fettling.

    Thanks for the quick reply, Smokin, but probikekit appears to be simply reselling the derailleurhanger.com stuff, and I have fettled away on the closest match from there without success.

    The search goes on...

    tried Betd? do you have the old broken/bent one?

    Call them as they can make to order.

    Have you tried here http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/find.asp ?

    I once tried to obtain a hanger for my Dawes Giro 500, Dawes sent the wrong one and failed to answer any follow up query, so won't deal with them ever again. Derailleur.com replied with a "that's interesting, send us one if you find one". In the end I managed to bend it back into shape and it's still going.

    Try contacting Luciano Cycles - they sell the new range, they may be able to help. Also, Fondriest were known to sub-con a lot of manufacture to Viner who have a UK distributor, so it may be a Viner part. I would also suggest Betd too.

    Try these http://wheelsmfg.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/
    I think Madisons deal with these so most retailers should be able to help
