You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I know, I know but a neighbours lad has ripped his mech off and the breakaway dropout failed to break.
I need a new one though as the mech semi pulled the treads out and I can't get a bolt to take in the remainder.
Anyone got one?
Will Halfords carry spares?
Is it a generic fitting?
Cheers for any help.

Blimey, BETD do one that looks right but it's £19.00 :O(
Halfords can get them but are unlikely to have any in stock (few shops stock hangers for some reason?). They will be fairly generic but youll prob have to trawl the web and compare images to what you have in your hand,
a new one is obviously worth more than the entire bike!
OK, Halfords do one for £8. A bit more like it.
Didn't search for Hanger, only tried Drop Out.

tap the existing one?
Assuming it's the same dropout as the common Carrera one, any bikehut halfords should have one (in a little plastic bag in the small bike parts rack) and it's pretty much the cheapest you'll find a dropout anywhere. Also fitted my old Scandal, which was nice, beat paying IIRC £15 for the same thing from On One 😉
Al - always been a bit confused by tapping.
Care to explain in idiot language so I understand?
I'm guessing it's a way of re-doing the treads but I don't have those sorts of tools.

Northwind - yeap, looks like a standard drop out from the pic. Will spin past next week and grab one it the old one can't be saved.
