NickGM Posted July 31, 2021 Share Hi Hubbers, This may be one of a few questions. My dad has helped out a few less privileged kids where he lives in the overberg and is slowly becoming the de-facto bike mechanic for his town. He can't get parts that easily so he's asked me to source some stuff, despite neither of us being experts. Here's the first one. A replacement hanger is needed for an old Raleigh RC4500. The image below is just a screen grab from another advert I saw (sorry if it's yours) but quite simply, I need buy a replacement hanger like the one in this picture. I've actually got a few lying around and neither of them worked. Err... anyone know what hanger "type" I should be looking for? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted August 1, 2021 Share Nick, that looks like a WheelsMFG hanger number 42. they have stock: https://switchbacksports.co.za/products/derailleur-hanger-42-multiple-makers?variant=29509730500707 Ps: East city cycles/ switchback = the same place in town. Ut any bikeshop should be able to order from them. Edited August 1, 2021 by MORNE NickGM and AdamA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted August 1, 2021 Share Also, here are some ebay versions if you want to go through the trouble: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RALEIGH-R400-R500-R600-R700-MASSI-Dropout-Number-3-Rear-Mech-Hanger-CC104-/292198581149?_ul=IN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I'm blowing my bikehub credibility to bits though by revealing how little i know. ChrisF and MORNE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikesRxS Posted August 1, 2021 Share The older bike shops like Bridge or Olympic or Crown Cycles should have these as well NickGM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super thankful to the handfull of experienced people so willing to help out ???????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
