The Epoxy Repaired Derailleur Hanger Finally Broke

No bike shop. I removed the derailleur with an Allen wrench set from a dollarish store. The floppy chain skipped into other gears and out of gear the entire 16 km 90 min. home.

It took 8 hours to rehydrate.

I found a $15 hanger on Amazon carefully measuring the critical dimensions on the screen.

In the meantime I will be stuck in one gear but at least it won't flip off the free hub.

You're taking an interest in cycling at last?

I have had a keen interest in cycling for years.

Same here, as well as a passing interest in engineering repairs.

It would be interesting to see what sort of repair was made to a set of
Derailleurs using Araldite (or whatever).

I'd also like to see how rounded the gear teeth are after 16 km of
constantly changing without a derailleur.
