NicoBoshoff Posted November 26, 2013 Share I am at the very beginning stages of my SS project (as in I have nothing, but getting there). My wife's cousin is doing me a big favour by donating a bunch of his old parts off his old Volcan XC3, including the frame. Problem is he had a huge crash with it way back and it seems the rear derailleur hanger snapped off: Since I am going SS, it don't need a whole new hanger, but will need something holding the axle in place. Can this be machined / saved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted November 26, 2013 Share You could get it welded up - but probably that will cost more to do than to buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted November 26, 2013 Share Was going to suggest a new one... but it seems like it's very hard to get spares out of the Volcan agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted November 26, 2013 Share Yeah they don't make them anymore. Will have to go manufactured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted November 26, 2013 Share I asked a similar question, and got replies here: http://www.thehubsa....age__hl__hanger No Volcan listed on that site though... one may have to find out it's unbranded/alternatively branded name.
