I'm after a spare hanger for my evol (I did have one, god knows where it is now! 🙄)

Alpkit don't have any stock or an ETA of when they will. Hoping someone eagle eyed will recognise it from another bike...

This is the only dissapointing think about dealing with Alpkit/Sonder, they don't seem to be very good at keeping stock of the little parts that can make a bike unusable pretty quickly.

My (2nd hand) frame was missing the grub screw that retains the threaded insert for the rear thru axle, they couldn't even tell me what size I should be looking for (M2.5 iirc, found a bolt which kind of worked in my spares box, think it might have originally been the bolt from a lock-on collar). I would like to replace my thru axle as it's getting a little chewed up, again not on the site and no indication of where I might find one (if anyone has a source, please let me know!)

Yeah, I bought a Transmitter frame for my son and it was missing a couple of cable guides. Thought it'd be easy to get fresh ones. Sent Sonder an email after asking about them on here. Two weeks later they replied basically saying 'we've nothing, lolz', then a week later followed up with a 'how did we do?' email.

Badly, Sonder. Badly.

Cheers for that, it does look similar but not quite right. It's annoying as it must be same as something else made in the same factory.

No need to apologise! We just need the EU to move onto mech hangers now they've forced Apple to use USB-C 🤣

Have a look on the evil Amazon empire store, I got a hanger with bolts for my Voodoo Marasa from there a few months back.

@letmetalktomark

I ordered one, they cancelled the order and have no idea of when the next lot are available. I suppose I could try Neil but he's only going to have to take one off a frame and put it out of action?

Luckily an STWer has come to my aid with a spare! 😀
