Grease_Monkey Posted May 31, 2018 Share A question please.My frame has sliding rear drop outs.Thus SS with a tensioner.Is there a rear derailleur hanger available for these frames?Might like to run her geared for fun.Yebo, I bought one in a while back from CRC - I think it was DMR - but it was the last one in stock at the time. Worked out to R550 landed with DHL express. Maybe ask them on the chat line - I think it was called "DMR tensioner with mech hanger", or something along those lines. What was quite nice about it was that it came with a tensioner for either side of the frame - not just drive side like many others. EDIT: Found it - not available anymore on CRC, but I am sure if you ask they will source it for you. Edited May 31, 2018 by Grease_Monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter1 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Pieter was right .... you guys have gone soft ... welcome to the soft riders club Hahaha! Was a #grappie. Think the Inbred will look sexy as a grinder tho. Almost time for me to take the old bird out of storage. Can’t wait! Not sure if I posted picks with the new rims and brakes... Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted June 1, 2018 Share I went to blood in my 456 (and my knee) at Oak Valley the other day. Damn it's lekker riding SS again. I really missed it. The simplicity just makes it a jol. In my mind the heart of mountainbiking is in forest singletrack. My little plot of forest leaves with farm views. Slipped out on the leaves and both me and the bike went for a slide. Winter riding.

Flowta Posted June 1, 2018 Share Excellent. Thanks. Will do Sorry, didn't manage to take a photo last night, but this is what I have Shimano Saint Axle Mount Derailleur for horizontal dropouts (9 speed)http://www.thursdaybicycles.com/gfx/4X_drop1.jpg I also have a Sunrace 9 speed 11-40t cassette and Microshift 9 speed gripshifts to go with itI'm at odds on whether to get rid of this set up or not. I also have one of these lying about, which I picked up at the Giant Store in Cape Town (I can have a look there, if I leave work earlier enough today)http://www.wigglestatic.com/product-media/5360087433/LifeLine-Emergency-Rear-Derailleur-Hanger-Workshop-Tools-LL-1947.jpg?w=430&h=430&a=7 Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
