Hey guys, I need some help with my derailleur! I just bought a brand new bike, took it out for a ride and snapped off the derailleur hanger. Upon further inspection I discovered the cage plate which holds the pulleys was completely bent out of wack.
Would I be able to replace a specific derailleur part to match the rest of it?
I think I'd have to get a new bolt to attach it to the rest of the derailleur too. The pulleys seem fine.
Or am I going to have to buy a whole new derailleur?
It's a Shimano SLX.
