My bike fell over this morning and hit the rear mech. Gears are now on the swazz so I think the mech hangar has done it's job. I'm going to try bending it straight but I will buy a new mech hangar anyway. I bought the bike second hand and I'm not 100% sure which version it is. It looks like they do difference hangars for different versions so how do I tell which one it is or should I just take the mech off and see what it looks like?

Take a look at the chainstay behind the crank and the dropouts

If they are flat bar looking like in the link below then its a V1 or V2 model

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116095776610?itmmeta=01HWWBVF7BG659HS7YKBW45VEQ&hash=item1b07d8f762:g:jq8AAOSwNfRl60BA&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4IjC6XPp5FRTOWMGFgEzo2%2BgftFKN6vC8v3EdmN7rCTO0DjNFTFFcTSoeXvN4HalIaRI%2F%2BRKKDk0LcZnT3HHtEUKFEe7FRC6PIw5Yh9E0pQoSTgoGtpyRiIzgJRDaiG%2BrXg5E9h%2BVVjGseNT480zSrDHSP45dbfQ%2FVVnpIbEG4x99l90PH0yX4kOG8lzmy0IhO4kjaeldfonAvkOBR0D4hM%2F5ZNTMRGClf3n0lFgv7AfJ6P4B2rkO2H2YyfxXEzKMYFh%2BenAbI%2FJsX4u3wTllkq1adV9peRjq1MXJJXLAt4m%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR97z7YvnYw

If both are a more normal tube shape then its a v3 or V4, the V4 is the newest version and uses a UDH hanger and was only released last year

Also the v1 and v2 had a 31.6mm seatpost and the v3 and v4 use a 27.2mm one iirc

Just slightly puzzled that you say if it’s like the one in the link it’s a V1 or V2 but that ad says it’s a V3?🤔

The ad wording is wrong, that’s deffo a V1 or V2 frame

i had a V3 and it had normal dropouts and chain stays along with a 27.2mm seat tube
