dalem44 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I was going through my Sani2c checklist and noticed that I hadn't got a spare derailleur hanger for my new frame. So off I went to the shops and had a look around, I couldn't get the hanger from my LBS since it was not a bike that they kept so I had to go elsewhere. I went to a chain that I am not too fond of since their prices are not the best unless you haggle your way through to what you want to pay. The only problem is, that I don't know what a derailleur hanger costs! I ended up buying the hanger and walked out the shop feeling as though I had dropped the soap in a prison shower! Can anyone enlighten me as to what a hanger should costs?
Tumbleweed Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Depends on the bike. Seem them going from R80 and upwards of R200.
Robrider Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 R130-R150 odd. I suppose it could be as much as R200. but more than that and I would be unhappy
TNT1 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 My raleigh mtb, last one from the chain mentioned by the OP, R25...
RedRover Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Paid about R125 for a Scott hanger and R82 for a Giant hanger at the LBS last week. Don't know whether that's good or bad though
dalem44 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 The said derailleur is for a Raleigh My raleigh mtb, last one from the chain mentioned by the OP, R25...

TNT1 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 The said derailleur is for a Raleigh My last Raleigh mtb one cost me R250 They didn't have a clue what they were looking for, so they took out a box with assorted hangers in it, I dug around till I found a matching one. No price for it on their system, so I made em an offer. My lucky day, I guess...
Bike Mob Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 sounds much cheaper than a derailer in the spokes and a wrecked frame... you should be thanking your lucky stars they had one. rememebr to carry it with you every day... much easier than converting to a singlespeed mid race.

I went the singlespeed route once out on the trail but it kept slipping gears so I ended up running the bike home!

dalem44 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 I have been riding for 6 years and only ever need one once! I have already added it to my ride pack that I take with on all rides!
