derailleur hangers
Ok what do you do when you have a whole bunch of midrange derailleurs and usually put them on midrange bikes, but you don't have the bolt-on hangers? Is there a site other than ebay that carries stuff like....."Sun Tour VGT hanger'? I wish the threading for Sun Tour and Shimano were the same, what a PITA. Thanks

For the old Sun Tour stuff you pretty much have to find it vintage. Your best bets are to check and see if there are any shops in your area that sell used parts or possibly a bike co-op if there is one. As for the hanger for a V series good luck must of the bikes these came on had Sun Tour dropouts so there are very few to be had.

Suntour and Shimano hanger bolt threads are different? That's news to me!

I believe they are for Shimano, but some are available outside of Ebay:

Maybe they're not different. I may have been freaking out. The Loose Screws site is pretty cool. Thanks!
