light enough to jump provided you have enough speed, she's never going to get a KOM on a climb

Beast of a thing though, glad its not going to waste any more!

Nice work! That jump looks sweet too.

So, I took it up to Waverley again today and on the 3rd run down this happened

The carbon outer cage seems to have disintegrated.
I also managed to twist the chain, bend the cassette and pulled the threads out of the hanger

Now I need to figure out if I should go for a 9 speed saint or straight for ss

 

[pink poodle]

Well that really sucks. Do you use much of the gear range when riding this? If not...single speed!

 

[Plankosaurus]

Oh, I see now

What size is that cassette? That derailleur would have had a limit to how big a cog you can use and might have got itself twisted up if it was too big.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't learn that lesson first hand mine was an alloy cage though so took it like a champ instead of kersploding.

11-36 which is the recommended maximum
It was in gear 7 out of 10 at the time

 

[Plankosaurus]

Fair enough. Maybe you're just a monster on the pedals?

Looks like you were sold defective goods. Definitely a warranty job

 

[mooboyj]

That's a fair effort! Where is Waverley?

Are you offering to go sort it out with the seller?

As long as they don't set the mother or mother-in-law on me

It’s on the eastern shore, if you want details pm me

So I finally got around to ordering a hanger. Cost me $63 in the end . I’m thinking I might sell the frame and get something that I can get hangers for in Australia.

Yeah that is a kick in nut sack.

 

[Plankosaurus]

To be fair, most people don't go through hangers like you do

Could be worthwhile investing in a CNC router so you can make your own?

Cost me over $200 to change the tracer to 142 dropouts, and had to get each side from a different place and hope they matched (because there is different sizes for different wheelsizes)

...now I'm thinking I'm the one that needs a CNC router

Surprised you don't have one already

Yeah, but it’s a slope style freeride bike, basically asking to be ridden hard.
And my brother broke 3 hangers in a month earlier this year

 

[Mattyp]

Are you hangers breaking from being ridden hard though? or from cartwheeling down the track?
