FRIGGIN NASSOHEGAN! This place is known for killing derailleurs and hangers. Well it got mine - SNAPPO! I walked out just happy it was the hanger and not my xo. Well today I went to reinstall it with a new hanger I poached from IABs old Quasi Moto hanging in the garage. So far so good until I start to look at my xo. At first glance it's just the pulleys - no big deal I can run to the shop and replace them by lunch.

then I try to remove the piece of the hanger that's still attached and I can't get it off - I realize it's wedged against something

can you tell what it's wedged against?

it's the b-tension screw....with the head sheared off!

I think I lack the tools and the strength to fix this one

BUT on the plus side, I had an old 9.0 in the garage so I WILL be riding today!

It looks like you can use a pair of needle nose pliers and slowly thread the B-tension screw out.......as if you were tightening it, but only from the back side. About 6-7 threads and it should come out.

probably. there is a good amount of the screw on that side to grab onto.

Nassahegon has wreaked havoc on rear derailleurs this year for sure. Another guy in that large group had his busted off too on Sunday - maybe that'll bring you a little comfort MBC.

I'm glad you had the backup 9.0 to throw on there and I'm glad the derailleur hanger from the Quasi-Moto worked as well.

That frame/bike seems like it is yours and IAB's donor bike, but instead of giving blood, it gives up componentry!

That Quasi Moto is pretty much a frame and fork right now.
