Just found them on CRC as im needing yet another new hanger for the v10.

Anyone had one that can tell me how good they are?

The review from a guy on CRC said the one for the v10 didn't fit right, would prefer one as they are only £17.99 rather than £25 from Stif or £29 from Jungle

Thanks in advance

    For the extra few quid I'd get one that fits right.

    From their own website...
    a CNC machined hanger is stronger, stiffer
    Well that seems like a bad, bad idea.
    Mech hangers are a weak sacrificial part for a reason.

    Only if you crash. And awesome skilled riders don't do that, do they?

    Nope, never. But they can bash their mechs off rocks. And the hanger should still break before anything else.
    That is the entirety of it's purpose.

    I need it fairly asap, never snapped a mech hanger on the v10 an had it 4 years now, it's just too bent and twisted to restraighten now is the problem, it was the my fault, rebuilt the mech with a new cage and put too much tension on it so it spun round and sheared the mech in half, lucky for spares eh
