which derailleur hanger - 2012 supersix (non evo)
Shop says my rear hanger is slightly bent. Joys of buying a used bike, i guess. I checked online, i see style #110 for 2008-11 supersix, and #162 for a 2012 evo series. I dont see any others. Anyone know which hanger i need? I dont have the bike right now or i'd check. They're both completely different from the pics online.
Also, if theres a better site to buy from than derailleurhanger.com? I bought from them before and was happy, but if there is a company with better products, im open to ideas.
Thanks!

A slightly bent hanger can straightened. Even new hangers often don't install perfectly square and need some tweaking, so I'd ask how bent iit is, and have it squared up if possible. Then when you have your bike back you can buy a spare, so you have it on hand for when you need it.

That's the nice thing about "good enough". It really is good enough. Does your bike shift well and run quietly? If so, there is no reason to replace the straightened hanger. As FB recommended, when you know exactly what you need, buy a replacement as a spare but why replace a perfectly functional hanger even if it was repaired?

Since there's no urgency, you can wait until you have the bike, or can ask the dealer to confirm when you go to pick up the bike.

HillRider, i wouldnt say it shifts optimally, but its also not at the point i cant ride it.
As for the comment about having a spare, maybe its just me, but id rather buy new, replace that and keep the "repaired" one as an emergency spare if ever needed.
Thanks for the responses,

The 1mm float on all good working Shimano top pulleys should silence most.
