Hi all,
I've had an old orange gringo for many years now, and it's kept going until yesterday when the rear derailleur hanger fell off. This is a bit of a problem as the part that the screw (which held the derailleur), went through and which fell off, was part of the actual frame. The hole that is left is now completely open at one side and wouldn't hold the derailleur. Short of getting the part welded back on, is there anything that I can do to sort out the problem?
Many thanks in advance,
Andy

Hopefully you can see how it's sheered off. Thanks.
If it hasn't uploaded I'm afraid my PC isn't having it i've tried three times. It literally is just that the bit that holds the derailleur on, which is part of the frame, has broken off though...0 -
No pic. You need to upload to Flickr or something and copy the location using the img tags.
Presumably it's steel, so might be able to weld it.I don't do smileys.
