The derailleur hanger, an essential component of your bike

Every part is important if a bike or MTB is to perform to its best. Each component has its part to play and must be in perfect condition to allow you to ride in complete safety. However, certain parts such as the derailleur hanger tend to wear out quickly which may lead to problems. At the first sign of fatigue, you should replace your MTB’s derailleur hanger with a new one

Replacing your derailleur hanger

The derailleur hanger is one of the most important parts on a mountain bike. Essential, it is the link with the derailleur and provides a strong platform on which to mount the derailleur. The derailleur’s secondary role is to break to prevent the derailleur itself or the frame breaking as a hanger is far simpler to replace than an entire frame. A bike’s derailleur therefore needs to be in good condition

If your derailleur hanger has broken due to an issue during a ride, take the time to replace it. Alternatively, it might simply be bent, and you might find that your gears don't shift properly. In every case the derailleur hanger should be replaced
