Hey,
This hanger is off of an Easton Elite 7005 Aluminium frame, hovewever Easton claim that they do not make the dropouts for their frames and cannot give me any leads. Nobody seems to have ever seen this hanger anywhere! I have looked at numerous hanger websites but none of the hangers match it.
Could say its my one and only!
Has anyone ever seen this hanger or have any idea where I could purchase one?
Regards,
Tony :-)

Hi,
Sorry i do not have a picture of the bike at the moment - its not with me. I have emailed BEDT, will let you know what they say,
Thank you0 -
you did send them pics they will also need your old one if they can help.
but if they can not. you could always go for a hone mech and a 10mm axle...
(new mech and and hub will be needed)."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

What exactly is a "Hone" Mech?
Thanks0 -
look on shimano webby for the Hone or the Saint group sets.
More hard core but they attach to the Axle rather than a mech hanger, but they do need there hubs to be compatible."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I like the idea, so is there no risk is using this for off road riding? Isn't that what the hangers are for in the first place?
Thanks again!0 -

well that is part of the debate. it was thought that something stronger was needed so the mech was attached to the axle."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Just watch ebay. I snapped one a while back and got a replacement on there.0

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

That Tomac one does look similar, but its the closest i have seen.
I really like the idea of the Hone set, not too expensive either, however apparantly the hub requires the dropouts to be between 7-10mm thick which i am unsure mine are, as you can see from the picture it drops in alot where the hanger should go, may be less than 7mm. :-(
I suppose this is the problem with having a old bike. I just do not want to waste it, the frame is incredibly durable and LIGHT!0 -
add a washer or two to the axle."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

is that really safe though?
Thanks for all of your suggestions,
Tony0
