So, I crashed my bike a while ago. Thought I'd got away without too much damage, just bar tape and a few paint chips. However, the shifting's never been right since - despite my best efforts at tuning the indexing. I suspect the hanger is bent and needs replacing.

Anyone know where I can get a rear mech hanger for a Trek 1.7?

    Helpful man from BETD had the answer, recommended.
  • Doesn't look that bent/twisted. Insert DAG-1 and straighten.

    For those of us without a full workshop: Handy Hint
    Don't just grab and twist and man-handle your mech to get leverage, insert the short end of an L-Bend allen key into mech retaining bolt and manipulate the allen key, stops you bending the mech instead of the hanger.

    Good advice. I've replaced the hanger but the shifting's still not right. Hmmm....
