I managed to snap the rear hanger on my XT rear deraileur tonight :cry::cry:
So I need to source a new one
Does anyone know where I can get a hanger from for a Giant XtC-1 2005 ?

    so you need a derailleur or mech hanger?

    mech hangers are frame specific, derailleurs are derailleurs.

    That answers my question really. I probably need both, as the rear mech is 5 years old and has seen lots of abuse and the spring isn't very springy. It is also prob a bit bent now :cry:
    The hanger is the bit that snapped. It's off a Giant XtC-1 2005
    Is Giant my best bet or my LBS ?

    well the hanger is bike specific.

    Found them
    Now I know they are frame specific rather than Deraileur specific I know what to look for.
    Cheers guys
