I bent one a couple of years ago and paid $20 including 3 day shipping from an online bike shop. I did know that it was a number 45 hangar. If I thought I might bend it a second time I would go to an overseas vendor on eBay and buy a spare. It was the only time I ever replaced one.

Thanks for the link, but it seems that the ID numbers aren't universal or standardized. According to Marin (who makes the hybrid/dual-sport frame I'm thinking about getting a spare for), I need a # 33. But on this ebay link, a #33 is very different. There are about 4 others that look really close, but it's impossible to tell which one would be correct.
