Ribble Aero 883 Replacement Gear Hanger

Good quality but a bit pricey for what is essentially a sacrificial component, designed to fail should the derailleur receive an impact. Trouble is it's got to fit right so there's only one source for my beautiful Ribble Aero 883 bits!

Just had to purchase another replacement gear hanger for my 883. Including the one that came with the bike, that's now 3 in total for a bike that is just over a year old. Have to add that my bike has never been crashed, or leant against anything on its drive side so I'm a bit concerned about the durability of these hangers. I'm aware the part itself is designed to take the stress from any impacts in order to protect the RD and the frame, but there has been no crashes. Perhaps hitting the occasional unseen pot hole at speed is enough to bend the hanger? I've also purchased a hanger alignment tool, so if the hanger gets bent in future and is not cracked, I'll be able to straighten it and hopefully save the need to replace the hanger.

Quick delivery as always from Ribble :)

Recently had to order a replacement hanger for my 883. The one that came with the bike snapped off in my hand when trying to straighten it, which either proves my immense strength or confirms that it was probably damaged anyway. They are designed to break under pressure, and I'd much rather it snaps at home than hitting a pothole going downhill!

Quick delivery as always from Ribble.
