we have somehow witness a deraillure hanger/drop-out snapped off it's place mostly when it hit's a rock or into street gutters.
and in another case the latest thing that I've seen is when we ride last
July 04, 2007...
too much mud cause it...
And one thing I hope on seminars we should also teach riders how important bringing an extra drop-out...

A small part that weighs 10 grams or less and easy to chuck in your bag but will save your day.
I think I posted it here in another thread.

if you mean a derailleur hanger, yes, it is mandatory to have one if you have a replaceable der. hanger. if you break a drop out, you're pretty much SOL...

No ill just get one when it breaks.
What you need in the trails is the chain cutter, if the hanger brakes,
keep your derailleur and covert drive train to a fixed gear, just to get you home.

What if you are 50kms away to away from home and 3 mountain ranges to climb? I carry a chain breaker/cutter, but going with a big group, you dont know when and where you will break your hanger. Best solution is to carry both cutter and hanger at the same time. And add the SRAM chain link. It's like nothing happened at all. You will go on with your usual ride and wont mess up the whole ride, your group's ride. Unless you are used to singlespeed. |

Aside from tools we bring along every trails.
an extra "baon" of derailleur hanger/dropout will save your day.
A wise rider maybe......

I dont carry extra hanger or spare either.. I carry chain tool and sram link cause is most likely to be damage during rides. So far, for the last 15 years riding the worst happen to my hanger was bent compare percentage of chain problem.

So far, for the last 15 years riding the worst happen to my hanger was bent compare percentage of chain problem. I was just counting the years I've been riding and it was almost identical to your riding years. And yes, I never broke a RD hanger, not even once. I did broke a chain in 96 on a road ride in Teresa. But it was the fault of the mechanic who installed it. But I still carry them when I ride with our group, powerlink, chain breaker tool and RD hanger. At least most of our riders are using the same brand if not all, Handsome point for me to lady riders when I fix their bike. If I will ride alone or with selected riders in our group, I guess I need to bring only my Camelback rocket and mobile phone. |

I ride mostly SS so I never have to worry about the hanger...hehe... but when I take the geared bike out, i always have a spare derailleur hanger in my patch kit box (along with extra quick links in case I bust a chain).

same for flipnidaho...work with an SS rig so the derailleur hanger is vestigial, however I still do suggest that everyone keep one specially those who do aggressive riding.

I broke one already. Well, it didn't exactly break but it was bent out of shape when my RD got pulled into my spokes (it was really muddy and my RD jammed). I had to carry my mud weighted bike out of the trail and wait for a friend to pick us up. When I got back, I tried straightening it out but it never was the same so I replaced it. The one I got was the last of it's kind in the store.

Chain cutter is enough for me, ride SS till i get back home. But for an epic ride or race.... it makes sense to do so.

Went to tamagotchi falls last Sunday and less than 15 minutes into the ride one of our companions broke his dropout and his RD almost went into his rear wheel spokes.... he had to turn back because going SS was simply too much for the planned ride....
I was right behind him when it happened and i saw the dropout fail by itself without hitting anything... loose threaded bolt they said.... In this instance he still would have been able to join the ride and enjoy himself had he brought a reserve RD hanger.

I should have bought with me a spare dropout yesterday, my bike's dropout broke and I had to cut the chain, but the chain's defective too because it bent. Our ride was muddy yesterday.

sometimes it's too much hassle to break/rejoin the chain. bring spare drop-out for convenience.

I have been telling people to bring one to save the day and the ride, not to forget ruining your ride and gears.
It happened to me when I went to MOA to join Papa Rocky and the NoodleTown boys, thinking it was only a road ride. I left my tool kit and spare dropout.
Que Horror!! I snapped it at the most unexpected ride there is.
I end up taking a taxi cab coz even when I converted it to singlespeed, the chain is being stretched due to the sagging of the rear suspension. It just shows how good is the design of Giant Maestro suspension. The chain extends, not shortens.
so no power lost. Dura ace/XTR chain is 1200pesos, taxi is 200pesos. But I could have save the 200 hundred if not for my lazyness and stupidity.
