I've snapped my rear mech (SRAM X.0) from the mech hanger at the bolt - so in effect the bolts snapped in the mech. I can remove the hanger and replace no probs - any ideas on how I can remove the snapped bolt from the mech? When I put an allen key in at the moment it just goes round and round.......
Is that a no then?
Probably has a circlip holding it in. Post a picture of the hanger-side of the bolt and I can probably tell you.
Show us some pics so we can suss it out for you. I would initially have said some good strong pointed tweezers in the rear where the remnants of the bolt are then try with the allen key.
Or how about supergluing a piece of scrap metal to the reamainder of the back of the bolt then place in vice holding it by the scrap metal and allen key it.
Now there is a thought re the circlip.....
on the inside face is a circlip holding the thingy screw plate in place remove this and the bolt withdraws replace bolt spares are available or use an old mech - may have the top half from a fubared carbon one
iirc any SRAM X series will do
Circlip idea got me thinking, looked on the SRAM website and that would have worked for 2007/08 mechs. Seems that now (09 onwards) it's not a replaceable item so the mech is trashed. 😈
Thanks for your answers, much appreciated
