Hangers Made of Cheese

[dlovett]

Well i bent the stock Camino hanger when the bike blew over and banged on the ground after a couple of weeks. I've now done the replacement in after bicycle and myself hit the road and bounced a bit on a roundabout. Hopefully the third one will be lucky when I can actually ride a bike again. As they are starting to become consumables for me, can any of you get some tips on straightening them without a massive workshop worth of tools.

Many thanks

Straightening mech hangers is 1 of the few jobs that really benefits from using the correct tool.
This http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/x-to ... prod122319 is little more than a replacement hanger costs and saves lots of guesswork and unnecessary bending. I won't insult your intelligence by explaining why soft mech hangers are a good idea.

Yeah, I have one of those in my toolkit (not exactly that, but very similar).

I don't think it's the hangers that are at fault.

We could blame the weather, and a car/diesel as I am currently too sore and feeling too sorry for myself to accept any responsibility !!

Ta for the link, that's a great price compared to a park tools one. Both far, far cheaper than the 100+ for a new mech.

I'm genuinely disappointed by the lack of actual cheese in this thread.

I may be the only person who laughed when he saw a panda, on a cheese thread.
