Snapped my Derailleur Hanger!
Broke another one!
Don't know how it was damaged, but when I was trying to straighten it up again (sometimes works) it snapped in my hands!
Oh well, it did it's job, better the hanger than the derailleur (XTR) or worse, the frame!
Time to order two hangers, one to use and a spare!
Just gotta make sure I get them in time for the the Fat Tire Festival on the 14th, down here near Tampa!

Come to Ft Lauderdale,
I'll show ya lots of places to break da hanger.
Here there are a lot of coral rocks (large bowling ball sized stuff) and sometimes the only way to clear is to shoot between them... Well if you miss then you can get your gear changer smashed on to a rock and its over...

i broke my hanger bout two weeks ago, took it to the LBS to have them try and bend it back for me
they procceded to break it and i'm still waiting for a replacment, im convinced the store just sold my bike and are trying to keep me away with this "sorry it hasn't come in yet" crap
as a result i've been riding my sister's bike for a week, oh god how i wish that bike had even the slightest sembalance of a suspension

I had to special order mine because no one in the area is an Intense dealer. However, you should be able to get one for your Hardrock from ANY Specialized dealer. Expect to pay about $10-15 for it. (Mine were $20) Ahh the joys of riding a custom bike!

And a2...I found a source in seattle for 8$ a hanger (12 cdn)...thanx anywas
