#GoodMorning#Gravel! Managed to bend the mech hanger back into position and it’s now back to spot on shifting. Fortunately, because the replacement is nowhere near…😂
@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower there are tools that are used to straighten hangers. I am fond of the park tool myself. But always keep a spare hanger, since it's possible to break it during adjustment.
@trouble That’s a tool I hope I’d never need so I never close the deal on it…😂
Also, I’ve made a query on the hanger, but I’m still waiting for info if it’s available. They took the money, so hopefully it is.
In the meantime, I’ve used allen bit in the mech’s bolt and big-ass pipe wrench to leverage it and I think I’ve done quite a good job as all 12 gears are now working fine.
@ssamulczyk ah, right! I don’t own one, I get to borrow one from our local bike kitchen. Yeah, on my own bikes I’ve only needed it once, so not a tool for the home shop.
@trouble This gravel one I’ve been bending multiple time now. It’s surprisingly robust for an aluminium hanger… I doubt I’ll get the replacement before my mid-June 3 day 370km seaside trip so it will have to hold…😂🙈
