when should i replace my derailleur hanger?
i have a cheap schwinn frame and the derailluer hanger seems to get bent just riding around around town and jumping off things. anyway, its slightly bent right now – by only a few degrees – but enough to cause problems with the chain and the shifting. i already straightened it out once, and i read that when a hanger has been straightened twice, it should be replaced. i already broke two hangers, and replaced them with Specialized hangers (as close a match i could find, i couldnt order the one specific for my bike).
my question is, do i spend the $20 to buy a new hanger and replace it now, or straighten it out and risk it breaking? (if there is a risk) i already put a nice wobble in my $200 wheel when the last one broke. how much longer will it last?
are there any stronger brands/material for these or any way at all to make them stronger? i know they are supposed to break instead of the derailleur itself, but in my case, they are the same price. i don t care either way.
If the bike is fairly new, and the dérailleur hangers you wish to use really do match, get 3 or 4! When selling the bike in the future, that will help it sell. Replacement parts get harder to find the older a bike gets.
Also, you do NOT want the dérailleur hanger to be strong than the frame of the bike. (and/or dérailleur), thats the whole point of a dérailleur hanger. Cheaper bikes do not come with an option to change the hanger, once its bent (or broke).
