I rode over a stick earlier this year, bent the rear mech and buckled the wheel but the hanger was fine. On the other hand my road bike, if I even look at the bike wrong I have to put a new hanger on. Sorry you had a rubbish day. Hopefully you can get rolling again soon.
@@CMZPICTURES I’m very careful and have never had a mech break before. My time was certainly coming - but for the chain stay to take such damage means there must have been a lot of force through the mech hanger. Either the mech hanger was too strong or the frame weak - at least that’s my opinion
What a nightmare! Had a mechanical on my Ebike last week Mate. Channels stuck on the chainring and mech trashed. Bike mechanic reckons the chain got caught on one of the teeth on the chainring and as it rotated ripped the mech forward and trashed it. Only damage thankfully was the derailleur but have also ordered a new cassette, chainring and chain too. Thought it best to replace the lot.
What a strange mechanical failure, I had a similar failure but it was just the mech cage that got twisted, and a stick managed to get between the plates, The stick hit the ground as I stopped and dug in, the weakest point went bent cage plates
Should the mech hanger have broken and saved my chain stay??

@TimFromWales yeah it almost looks like the hanger rotated around the axle and chiseled into the end of the frame.
Yes! It didn’t do its job. 😢
I agree. Surely the mech hanger should have saved the frame from being broken.

Chain not channels 😂

Mate I’m not even sure what took the mech out. Wide clear trail as far as we could all tell and no sign of a stick or anything.
@@TimFromWales too much power in your legs 🤫
put some cute ladies in the content i always watch stuff like that =P
let me guess: 12 speed derailleur?
