Mate of mine (honest) broke his mech hanger today at Cannock. Strangely the hanger is fine but the bolts sheared in a way that is going to take some effort to recover the hanger.

Ringing shops just now to try and find one, but doesn't seem to be stocked. Also seems all 2014 onwards full sus orange bikes use the same hanger....

If anyone has one they'd sell either on our route or around St Athan/BPW area, please let me know!

Sunset Cycles in Cardiff stocks Orange Bikes, might have the part to hand?

Direct from Orangebikes.com they might post you one to BPW? If you’re quick!

As above, Sunset would be the best shout I'd reckon.

I have 2 Orange Mech hangers. 2014-19 Five, Five 29, Alpine Five, Segment and Alpine 160/6, 2016-18 324, Stage and Four Hanger. Item Number 509. Are these the correct ones for you?
Brand new on me right now, but I am on a site visit in Honiton, I won't make it to a postbox in time, unlikely to finishe here until 630. But if you can get anyone in this part of the world who is going to BPW tomorrow to meet me then we can fix it?
I am going to BPW on Sunday hence having all my bike crap with me in the car. These are lurking in the bottom of the toolbox.

Also, this might seem wierd, but according to my PMs, you asked a similar question about a year ago?

Thanks all, looks like Pearce cycles is sorting us out....

Lesson for all, make sure you have a spare hanger!

You can do BPW chainless - my daughter ripped off her mech on her second run (actually tore the hanger mounting point off the bike frame....) I just started giving her a shove off the starting ramp, she generally made it all the way down in one go. Improved her riding too as she wanted to avoid stopping so went with more pace than usual.

The mental image of that made opening this thread worthwhile!
