Ive broke my rear derailuer the other day some how its now bent, so im going to need a new one. I am woundering how easy is it to fit and set one up.

    Pretty easy. See Park Tools for a guide.

    Make sure your derailer hanger isn't bent too.

    The hardest part is getting the chain to run through the cage, usually requires you to snap the chain to get it through the cage or to take the cage apart and re-assemble round the chain, some cages can't be taken apart though because sometimes they use rivet bolts to put it all together that you can't undo without drilling them out so snapping the chain is the only way! ...If you do have to do that then get a chain tool and buy the propper link to put it back together again afterwards.
