I broke my rear derailler and hanger the other weekend on a pretty lame wreck. I didn't even fall down. The hanger sheared off completely and the derailleur looks like its wrecked. Its taken quite a bit of abuse in its lifetime anyways. The bottom cog actually broke in half.
The derailleur was a shimano deore long cage. The shifters are also shimano. For some reason I want to replace it with an SRAM derailleur. Can I do this without any problems? Also, I have a 2007 Iron Horse Warrior 3.0 - where is a cheap place to get a replacement hanger? I plan on doing this myself.
Yeah, the LBS is probably the place to go for something like a hanger - providing they have the one you want. Otherwise, you're gonna run into the high shipping-to-cost ratio pretty much anywhere online though.
Looks like a good site for rare or out of production hangers tho :thumbsup:
Helps somewhat justify the shipping if you buy the replacement and a spare too? I've never used them fwiw, they haven't carried the ones I've needed...got mine from the manufacturer direct (Santa Cruz). Some shops don't carry much in the way of hangers...
I actually went to one LBS and the guy said he would have to order a shimano deore derailleur. I was thinking WTF? this is a bike shop right? Thanks for the info.

WHY??
If what you said in the OP.."and the derailleur looks like its wrecked", is true, then I don't what know you want him to say...
Not being a dick, just kinda confused maybe...

Yeah, this. Basically, I tried to go there so I could get it replaced ASAP. When he said he could order one I was like.. uhh, I can do that on my own, lol. This was also before I found out that my bike needed a special hanger made for my bike. For some reason I thought hangers would be a standardized part that would fit on all bikes.

As far as I know he didn't have anything in stock... The shop just opened up like 2 months ago. He also couldn't even quote me a price without looking it up. That just made me want to leave.
