USEFUL INFORMATION
Replacement Hangers: Our short hanger's axle center to hanger center measurement is 1.040" (26.4 mm). It is generally used for road bikes, but is also good for rear cogs with up to 24 teeth. Our long hanger's axle center to hanger center measurement is 1.180" (30 mm). It is generally used for mountain bikes and for rear cogs with greater than 24 teeth.
6061 Hangers vs. 7075 Hangers: 6061 hangers are more ductile than 7075 hangers but do not have 7075 tensile strength. A 6061 hanger will bend before it breaks. A 7075 hanger will take a bigger hit than the 6061 but will fail catastrophically. In either case it is adviseable to keep a spare with your bike.
Please note: stainless steel CANNOT be brass brazed. |
