calabash Posted August 28, 2008 Share Here is an idea: If the bicycle manufactures want to make more money then why don’t they invent a flimsy little piece that is easy to break and attach it between the frame and the derailleur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitusTi Posted August 28, 2008 Share Once had to try and fix a Ti bike that didn't have a hanger. It took forever, good news is the frame can now take a 140mm rear wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javadude Posted August 28, 2008 Share Overseas you can buy breakaway bolts for rear derailleurs, that are specifically weaker than the bending point of your fancy dropout and will break before damage can occur. I dare you though to go to your LBS in SA and ask for a Breakaway bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
