URGENT HELP NEEDED! : Replacement Gear Hanger

bendertherobot

I have a Lemond 2007 Carbon Zurich (triomphe) frame.

Does anyone know where I can get a gear hanger urgently?

Try a Trek dealer - they're probably generic across the Trek range or www.betd.com

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

is the one.

Trek are being a bit rubbish as the part number they've told me is clearly a different one!

I've ordered the ebay one but I'm at the mercy of USPS Priority Global. Wouldb't be too bad but I have a 100 mile bike ride a week Saturday!

Trek stated it was this one:

Clearly that can't be right!

I know this won't help right now, but after having similar traumas getting a mech hanger, I now have a spare, and if and when it is used I will immediately order another spare. It is very upsetting missing out on fab rides on sunny days!

Don't worry Alfa, I'm doing just that!

Can't help on the hanger, though, sorry....

This looks similar:

And (ordered this but it's gonna take a week or so to get here) this IS the right one:

reckon worth a punt on trying the PBK one as well?

Panic over.

Trek managed to put "Lemond Hanger 2007" in the "Lemond 2008" category.

On the way to me now. At least I'll have a spare.

Wondering if any of your hangers looked like the below. Mine seems to be part of the frame itself. The connection bolt on the chain stay insert seems to be glued into the seat stay insert. Wondering how the chain stay insert comes out of the frame even if I can find one. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

Looks like images aren't coming through, here's the link to pictures of it.

That is not a replaceable hanger.

Not an easy,if at all possible, fix. You will need to be talking to a frame builder. Try Argos racing.

Might also be worth talking to a Trek dealer - when my dérailleur hanger was threaded after being straightened one too many times I popped into evans and they quoted £120 to replace - depends how much the frame is worth to you of course.

if its a replaceable hanger try gearmechhanger.com
