cheapest best felt derailleur hanger
Gday all, hope your all well
i have a problem
today i broke my Felt derailleur hanger and am searching for the best place to replace it
i live in germany and have searched my two local bike stores to no avail and now trying the net.
i found Derailleurhanger.com and they have what i need for 21.95 or two for 39. but then they say something about the hangers being stronger than the original manufacturers hangers, and that they can take a harder hit, than the originals. does this not mean that i could sustain some more damage to my frame? this is what the hanger was designed to prevent, its a damn expensive frame i dont want to get a new one cause i was too cheap to pay for a felt original hanger. that would not make sense.
thanks in advance for all your help, however small it is.
cheerio

I'd stick with the manufacturer's hanger, personally. The derailleur hanger is designed to break/bend more easily than the rest of the frame. I don't have any real science to back that up, but I don't want my derailleur hanger to be the strongest thing on my bike.

Is that a bladed spoke and 'dork' disc combination?

How about Felt's German importer: Felt GMBH, Industriestrasse 39, D-26188 Edewecht, Germany ?
+49 4405 928 00
I would think they are the ones to contact.
