Hi Everyone,

HAs any one ever come across sheared bolts on the cable mount for the rear derailier before?
Its on an ultegra 10 speed 2009 focus cayo. Id like to say its because i was putting so much power through but in reality i changed gear on my drive way pushed my pedal and it mount flew off my bike and landed 10 feet away.
Ultimately now the rear derailier is out of use and I didnt get to go for a ride!

The bike shop is closed and having looked at it myself, the bolts have sheared completely leaving the bottom half still attached to the frame.
Anyone know if its possible to remove these to reattach the mount?


Thank you!

George
Lucky I have just bought a new bike :)
Maybe this one is telling me something :(

    would help get advice if you post some pics of what's happened

    otherwise, if it's really just sheared bolts, replace them

    I'm a bit lost too.

    If it's just where the cable outer stop screws in then as long as the derailleur is okay then that could just be replaced.

    More than that and it sounds like a new derailleur would be required.

    Pictures will make it easy.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    Indeed, the just in front of the rear derailleur to me suggests the frame mount (no part of the derailleur can be in front of the derailleur!) so I haven't got a clue what he's on about!
