It's called a sacrificial bolt.

Try here, https://www.bikepro.com/products/rear...der_bolts.html, or here https://www.pilo.co.il/Default.aspx

You may just have to go to local nuts & bolts store. Can't find my original link.

Also called "break-off bolt".

The non-replaceable derailleur hanger is not a show stopper if you get this DERAILLEUR PIVOT BOLT.

It works fine and solves that problem .

Try this and never have to worry about it: DERAILLEUR PIVOT BOLT

The bolt will break instead of bending or breaking the hanger.

Hm interesting post. I was considering a frame upgrade (looking at the CR1 Pro). However, I was looking at the women's frame because...

a.) it's not stupid girly colors
b.) i'm a pretty small guy...
