it's a piece of alloy, that's what it should cost. added to fav sellers, nice find.

There's no way they need to cost the £22 wheels etc charge.

Gear hangers are the PFI of the bike industry 😀

I use the seller called cheapbikesandprams. Loads of mech hangers and they work absolutely fine.

Would you want one that was stronger than either your frame or mech?

Yeah they look ok, but if they're as soft as cheese then it's the chocolate teapot scenario is it not?

For the good of the community I'll be the guinea pig and order a couple then 🙂

DS look at them and it's clear they'll never be so.

Yes - I've bought two or three from 925 Engineering. They are not too cheap to be good, and have always arrived promptly from the US!

Highly recommended.

Looking at those in the link, they should be fine as they're actually machined...it's the one's that have been pressed or forged that are made from monkey metal.

In all seriousness - ask him. He's receptive to suggestions; a few years ago I asked him about making hangers for a particular bike and he was genuinely interested.
