I'm looking for an adaptor claw to fit a rear derailleur
ie:

Anyone happen to have this semi-obscure part?

It comes standard with several low end Shimano (and other?) rear mechs, but since most frames have a derailleur hanger integrated with the dropout, they screw it off and put it somewhere in a drawer.
And if they stock it as a spare part, it won't cost you a fortune.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
