How are you failing to run into the occasional weak hanger? Do you run the bike shop on Sesame Street instead of a real one?
Why does someone who admits to not having the experience of dealing with weak hangers insist he knows what is going on? The voice of inexperience?
Once maybe twice but he should have figured out the issue before he had to do it a third or fourth time or brought it to a shop for them to evaluate. I would be willing to bet money it was caused by the OP and not a "weak" hanger. NOBODY has to adjust their hanger that often in such a short period of time if they aren't doing something wrong. Come on now be realistic (or don't your fantasy is kind of funny). I am sorry having talked to other mechanic friends who have been doing it longer than I also haven't seen the need to adjust 10 times.
Because I have dealt with a lot of hangers over time but I don't come across a lot of weak ones I think your statistics are made up or you sell bikes that are so bad that nobody else is selling them or working on them. You seem to replace hangers a lot more often than most people so I would imagine it is something you are doing or are just lazy as we discussed mechanics could be earlier.
