Wannabe Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I managed to break the hanger on my Solis frame this weekend.Initial searches suggests that it is not going to be an easy task to find an replacement for a frame not in production anymore.Searching all the sites, I can find derailleur hangers similar in shape, but not exactly so. My LBS is now in possession of the broken one, trying to source one from Rush Sports, my best chance locally I was told by helpful chaps from RAVX (they brought the frames in originally). If after all this, I fail to find one, is there a hubber in CPT area that has got access to CNC machine, to help me cut one, WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK in the process?

carrera4s Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 If you get stuck, let me know. A friend of mine also needed a hanger recently and had one made locally in Pretoria. At a very decent cost as well.

Duane_Bosch Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 You can get aftermarket hangers for pretty much any bike from an outfit called Pilo. They are based in Israel if I remember correctly. https://pilo.co.il/?SID=eju4964g8et19mtrersv73qdi4

droo Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 WheelsMFG 119Pilo D74 Neither are in stock with the local suppliers, but at least you now know they exist. FWIW, it's a De Rosa hanger - so NSquared (our SA distro) may have some.
NISI Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Hallo you can try derailleurhanger.com and see which one is close enough to modify. My one was not listed but ordered one that was close to mine and it arrived within a week.After a slight modification it works 100%.
Wannabe Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 Thanks Droo, those two are the closest to mine, it seams. I managed to find one locally, but the mounting holes are different. Will first see if I can modify it to work. (drill new holes and tap 'n die)If not, at least I know where to find it now. APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP, GUYS.
