Wheels MFG direct mount hanger
Ha I was taking the piss! I thought you’d bodged something 😂
Didn’t realise that new bit is actually a new hanger!What I thought was some sort of plastic temporary bodge is actually wheels mfg hanger 374?
TotalShanner-
Exactly that. A 374. Nicely machined and all, but £35? Nah. But desperate I was.
I’m such a shit weight weenie also. I did not weigh the hanger before I fitted, nor have I weighed the old hanger and the bit I removed from the derailleur. So I can neither confirm nor deny that the bike is now lighter.
On the shopping list for the bike right now:
- Hope 30mm BB in Black (dub adapters already purchased)
- A aeroz appropriate AXS compatible front ring in 50 or 52T flavour. Plan B is get a quarq power meter and just whack a normal 110/130 ring on - easy and cheap swaps.

Wheels MFG direct mount hanger - nice bit of kit actually. Could not find for the life of me the Specialized hanger so went with this instead listed as SL6 but worked and they are apparently the same. Grand service as always for SJS Cycles to get this delivered next day.
Bike took a tumble onto grass when I left it propped up against the fence for a couple of mins late last week to grab a drink. Somehow the very minor fall caused a twist in the hanger. Guess it’s better than a new - if you can find one - derailleur… £5-600!! I got this second hand in January for £160 😎
2/3 on spot the difference - the new bolt is silver (yuck).
