Are derailleur hangers made by the frame maufacturer or are they a generic item. Example: Does Giant MAKE the hangers that come on their frames or do they just buy them from a 3rd party and bolt them on?
Weird bike question:
- Thread starter robdamanii
- Start date
why do you ask?
Problem is, quite a few of them are universal. IE, Hanger #56 or something like that. Are they not produced en masse by one company and bolted on to several frames?McGRP01 said:
depends on if your bike is a mass produced or if it is produced one off. all my frames are made in house to my design.
a lot of times you can take one hanger and file it to fit yr particular bike, as long as the important bolt holes match.
22 bucks for a Haro hanger? Jeeeeez, and I thought my LBS charging 15 bucks for the ones i get was alot.

But, in the vain of bizarre, left field questions...I've always wondered why races are always held on Sundays instead of Saturday? Anyone know?

Dude, a Rocky Mountain Hanger is super duper expensive (if you get it from Rocky)
So if you get injured you have a good reason to take Monday off work.bluebug32 said:You have too much time on your hands.

So people don't have to take time off work if there is a practice day. If you have a Sat race, practice would be Friday. If you have a sunday Race, people can leave after work on Friday, practice Saturday, Race Sunday, drive home Sunday night, and be up in time for work on Monday
There are large Taiwanees and Chinees frame houses that produce many of the frames on the market and there is a lot of cross-over in these prodution facilities. Howevr most hangers are brand specific, and at least initialy, manufactured by the company making the frame. Later independent contractors like Deraileurhanger.com may start to produce them for out-of-production bikes.
