If you do truck style shuttles like they do in the UK for uplifts your rear der hanger (or mech hanger if your UKish) takes a beating sometimes.
Norco DH prototype for 2012?
- Thread starter frango
- Start date
really?? in ten years of doing uplifts and races i've never had/seen a mech hanger bent by the uplift. Brakes pulled out, forks scraped to hell, frames scratched to buggery yes, but never had or seen a hanger getting done
maybe, maybe not. But I'm inclined to beleive the total is greater than the sum of its parts...
i dont think thats what they were referring to though
Really? I have - i gues you can call me mr unlucky.
Two races before i left for Canada, = two bent der hangers at the top of the track. Caersws and i forget where the other was.
Just a thought, but maybe not the reason.
I'd sure like to know how they seemlessly blend a hollow tube into a solid clevis on the chainstays...
There is a lot I like about this bike!

sounds like it! although admittedly i'd prefer a bent hanger than arriving at the first corner having not realised your brake level isn't connected to the piston anymore
Santa Cruz and Intense have been banging on about stiffer hangers for years too. Although just getting rid of the hanger like intense (and SC?) have been known to do doesn't float my boat!

the burliest/stiffest (i suppose) one i have seen is on my DHS...its massive
The new specialized one is pretty ridiculous as well, so was the new orange one for the 224 evo.
new product and ill bet same old problems when it comes to production. Terrible quality and finish, mediocre ride, inevitably going to explode.
Really??? WTF are you basing this on? STFU and go troll somewhere else.
Post up the pics of Norcos' exploding... The shop which I work at, we have Norco, Specialized and a few other brands, The out of the box finish of Norcos' are above anything else Ive seen/built.
Haters guna Hate.
Me too... I was thinking it might be a hydroformed tube with 3-4mm wall thickness at the dropout end, formed into a square cross section. They can then machine out the clevis and drill the bolt hole. This would leave the tube open though, which may or may not be a bad thing.
