Mountain Bike Derailleur Hanger Replacement

[@bmzaron713]

Excellent, one of/ the best hanger videos for bicycles

[@Davill2011]

I had same bicycle as yours except that mine came with V-brakes. Excellent video tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Greetings. David.

[@kenandjensumler8067]

After watching this video I went into my garage and started putting together a bike stand. Solid!

[@RichpinTv]

They are deigned in such a way that they will bend or break before there is any damage done to the frame or derailleur.

[@zulyadquazi]

Thanks for the video mate. Something like this happened to me on the trail while I was going uphill. I wasn't that lucky though, as derailleur came of and got stuck in between the spokes of my wheel. Had to carry it for 3 kms!

[@da12641]

Thank you..I've been searching all over for RD & hanger specific installation.

[@bobp5914]

Great video. Can you show us how you made your mechanics bike stand? Looks like its from a old milk crate.

[@Neilx14]

I'm really wondering. I just bought a Mountain Bike 2 days ago. And the hanger bent (not really chipped of like yours) accidentally (without me knowing how it did broke). Is this really the nature of the hanger wherein it can be easily bent? or am I doing something wrong with changing gears? The repairman said that perhaps a large stone struck the hanger and it has caused it to bent. But I highly doubt that. Hope you can answer my question. Newbie here

[@SmartIPictures]

finalyyyy, ive been looking for a video showing exactly how to attach the derailleur on the hanger for hoursss. Great video ! :)

[@GaryHighFruit]

One of my big pet-peeves is in this video. At 3:57, he tightens it way too tight. This does damage to the screw and the tool, weakens the integrety of the parts, and makes it harder to get off, while doing more damage. I'm stuck trying to remove a broken hanger from a derailleur. That's why I'm watching this video. I notice he does that in this video. I saw how easy he got it off. I know he didn't put it ON.

[@extremedavidson]

nice vid. men, very good instruction. helps a lot for a novice like me who wanted to do some minor repairs.

[@DesChew]

Great video. Can I check where do u order the hanger? Can it be place online?

[@DesChew]

Love the way u explain b-screw on top of hanger and apply some spring tension. Btw can u do a video to showcase the cool bike mount that u got? It's very innovative.

[@RichpinTv]

Yes i did one check it out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWO5hHuLq8SEo8U

[@discdon]

Hi , Thanks for the video, a lot of useful detail. The hanger, a new thing for me, has broken on my Dahon Jack and it looks pretty similar to this one. I need to get a replacement. However, it doesn't have a number on it. Don (UK)

[@azikuk8201]

That’s the mount I need what’s the name of it

[@a2zlifechannel4]

which was is counter clockwise. ? when you were doing the additional fine tuning looking from the front of the bike towards the back? or from behind the bike looking to the front of the bike?

[@nilsgudmundguttormsen8268]

Very good, nice clear picture and easy to see installation

[@johnmartin9451]

Is that a homemade bike stand? I like that. My challenge would be finding a metal milk crate.

[@RichpinTv]

I know were would you find a metal one nowadays.

[@chivalrous_chevy1163]

You can't, they don't have them anymore. In fact, I've never even seen one, honestly. None-the-less, great tutorial. I just changed the derailleurre on my bike thanks to this guide.

[@vypr7007]

My bike does not have a replaceable hangar, it’s welded in. Is there any way I can install a replaceable one?

[@dimiz4096]

You would need to draw an archiecture and get the mathmatetics precisley and wield the design to allow for a hanger, in general it doesnt really matter how far the new hanger is in comparison to the old pivot point. What matters is if the chain is long enough and that the wheels on the rear derailluer do not come into contact with the rear gears. But I believe its better to get a derailluer hanger and place it in the sproket where your normal derailleur hangs from or better yet get a derailluer hanger extender.

[@RichpinTv]

I was coming down a hill and a stick got sucked in.Jammed the brakes right away which helped from getting more damage.

[@myfaceisonfire1]

yes you can but you might have to bolt it together with the tire

[@roul3688]

can one of these hangers be put on a bike that doesn't originally have a replaceable hanger (welded on like the video states). I'm looking at a GT hard trail which does not have a replaceable hanger. I bent the frame on my old GT timberline. $500 gone

[@dtf.editzz]

Uhh! My derailleur hanger is welded to the frame what do I do?

[@czechm8487]

Hi. Where can I find that exact hanger? I've got a project bike and I'm almost certain that's the hanger I need.

[@RichpinTv]

A good place to try is your local bike shop they are very good at finding a replacement.

[@taylorpreston8502]

How do you know if you’re hanger is bent?

[@BoBSmith-jz5dm]

Hi on my bike the bolt on the derailleur that attaches to the hanger won't turn , it's not stripped , it seems t be wedged between the tension pin lever part , ie the whole thing turns , it's driving me crazy , it's not the derailleur as it did it with my old one , I took the old one to a local bike shop for them to remove as it was the same and they took it straight off , while I was fitting it did it again , then it was ok , the allan key would turn the bolt , then I realised I put it on wrong and when I tried to take it off it has done it again , please help , the problem is basically the bolt will not turn , it will turn a few mm back and forth but the derailleur tension lever part seems to be turn as well and blocks against the hanger ,surely the bolt is meant to turn freely and not with the lever part turning as well , sorry if this is a confusing question , any help would be apreciated before I saw it off , p.s it is 100 percent not threaded the lever part is turning with the bolt screw part of the derailleur , anyway any ideas ? thanks

[@Lets-Drone-With-Bone]

great tutorial thanks for sharing....also love the improvised workshop stand :-)

[@finnba_h]

I have a 2007 Specialized Epic Comp with Sram X-9 rear derailleur. What hanger should I get for it?

[@witboj8281]

You always have to put a lot of grease between the hook and the frame and the screws otherwise you will often hear crackles when pedaling. The tightening force of the hook is 10Nm

[@bismarchristianronmelt1594]

My Mtb doesnt need a hanger is that good?.

[@tobyjones440]

cheers. I had exactly same problem this morning.

[@iSabugasSec]

did you fix it?

[@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623]

any ideas why these things happen? I work at a huge retail store in the sports department and I have seen bikes come back with broken deraileurs that just snapped off or exploded when the customer tried shifting the gears. not the hanger part but the cheap plastic deraileur snaps in half or so..

[@RichpinTv]

A Seki I have found if you buy a bicycle at a low price you get low grade parts on it.

[@swapnilharpale7244]

Can you please post the link for this derailleur hanger. My bicycle have the same kind of derailleur hanger.

[@RichpinTv]

I brought the old one to my local bicycle shop and they got a replacement for me.

[@Johnslist]

I've done this before and it was as straightforward as this. This time I brok one on a GT Karakoram, i found replacements, but the existing one seems riveted to the frame? I see no hex head or anything, anyone know this? Must I drill it out?

[@andrewdressan6306]

Why this kind of things happen? I got two broken derailleurs recently by just jumping with the bike, there's a method to avoid this?

[@jameswagner197]

Andrew Dressan yes, your bike clearly isn’t for jumping, don’t jump on it

[@bigsamdog1]

Great instructional video. Thanks a bunch!

[@TheMooiedragon]

Thanks... I totally needed that!

[@sunbugs]

I want to see theVW?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KillerZero259]

awesome video rich!!

[@SlippstersVideos]

Thanl You ! Excellent video! It answered all my questions! 🤘😀🤘

[@annupram4174]

where did buy the derailleur hanger

[@richpin3041]

I went to the local bike shop.

[@aznfarty1]

Does this bike come in pieces

[@inxs13]

More good stuff. You rule man !

[@RichpinTv]

Derailleur hangers do have a number on them.

[@samuelgerardi3642]

+richpin06a My derailleur hanger was old and mangled, thus no visible number on it. How do I know which hanger to purchase? My mountain bike is a GT Ricochet.

[@RichpinTv]

+Samuel Gerardi That might be a tough one with no number plus it is mangled.I think what i would do is go to a dealer that sells GTs and see if he can comes up with something.

[@intersanctum]

+richpin06a mine has only x on it :)

[@paulawright7779]

Need a new hanger don’t no the size it’s for giant mountain bike can any one help

[@kethib52154]

What are usung for a bike stand?

[@RichpinTv]

I fabed one out of a metal milk crate i think there is picture of it in one of my videos.

[@xts_eddy9527]

Just got it after 6 days and flipping threads got stripped when doing it slowly

[@RichpinTv]

It would take a lot of work but it might be possible.

[@bitesizeziggy4724]

Awesome beetle!

[@CowTypeSh]

My hanger snappped, I got off the part that was connected to the frame but for some fucking reason the part that is connected to the Derailleur is fucking magically glues on there and can not be loosened. And what makes it even harder is that instead of the screw being on the outside of the derailer its way the fuck on the inside of it so I can only use my alan wrench and it hurts my hand to push hard.

[@Fredwitrave]

Kelp'Cs just adding some extra swearing might help.

[@maxyeo3812]

bro did you manage to get it out? I'm having the same problem as well. Please give advice if you managed to get it out

[@RichpinTv]

I have a video of it in my vault of videos

[@Tinyeta]

Great! Thanks Family Guy 😆

[@da12641]

@4:18 is SO important but yet every instructional videos skip that part.

[@KillerZero259]

i wish for that ALL the time!! rich can fix ANYTHING! literally! X - )

[@traingp7]

You should of replaced that junk alivio derailleur while you were at it with something better like SLX or a XT derailleur. Also you should check the derailleur to see if it got bent when the hanger broke. Not to nit pick but even a brand new derailleur hangar can need some fine tuning and a bicycle shop will have a park tool derailleur hangar adjustment tool just to be sure it is perfectly straight.

[@victorrivera3471]

nice bike stand.

[@TrueBlueEG8]

that is a lovely bicycle.

[@MyLifeRevolves]

Thanks A Lot!

[@bigblue7091]

Excellent , great close filming to other Tutorials , Hope this don't Happen to me , my Trek fat Bike No separate Fitment , Frame Fitment 2021 Model would be Ruined "..

[@yendor1200]

man i wish you were my neighbor

[@roncooke2188]

I like your bike stand great video, just doing same on my bike

[@bassSupply]

wobble on that wheel much or is it my screen...

[@RichpinTv]

There could be a slight runout.

[@bassSupply]

+richpin06a heheh yeap we all have em

[@twbrkfd1733]

Just get a bike that uses a hanger that is integral with the derailleur...

[@mungomunro1]

Nice one', cheers!

[@DB-jx9sj]

No issues with assembly for me kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".

[@LSJUAN]

First thing we need to do is get the bicyle on jackstands. Ha

[@RichpinTv]

That is no fun.

[@RichpinTv]

Or ramps....lol

[@malcolmrff]

This dude sounds like tom cruise

[@realkilju]

[@PinpointR]

man that BUG is a cupcake!!
