Gone and snapped somethin'

MarEll

Hey

New to the forum and not exactly an expert with bike maintenance so please excuse any noobyness.[:)]

Was riding to work the other day and the part of frame that my derailleur fixes onto snapped off! (dont ask me how lol) Anyway what I wanted to know was- is this part replaceable and if so whats it called for when I'm buying one lol.

Here's a pic to help explain what I going on about.

Welcome.
I trust you are referring to your rear derailleur!!!! [:0]
Simply called a rear mech hanger and is designed to fail rather than bending your frame. [:I]

it is a mech hanger, they are frame specific, so look for one for your frame, they do cost quite a bit though, around œ20

Thanks for your quick reply. Now I know what to ask for in the local bike shop.

Edit: Found some on wigglethey seem to vary quite abit in price. How do I know which is suitable for mine. Its a Muddyfox...crest I think

Capt. Concussion

Safest option is to speak to a Muddy Fox dealer or e-mail Muddy Fox themselves.

I don't know, but being frame specific if you go to where you got the bike from then you can order a spare, anywhere that sells muddy fox bike should be able to get you one.
