Derailleur Cage Length, Bent Hanger, SS Quick Fix

[deanbean]

BTDT. If you have rear sus then going SS when ur hanger breaks can be a problem. Most suspensions cause small changes in BB to axle distance as they flex. Every time the chain goes slack on suspension movement it wants to change up at the back and eventually it rides up onto the biggest gear it can and locks out the suspension. May go so tight you cant turn the cranks.....at which point you might break something if you keep riding. Emergencies only IMO. I always carry a spare hanger 'cos I never want to do this again>_>

If you carry a bomb with you pump the shock rigid. I've done this before, successfully.
