Have I written my bike off?

[beatlejuice]

Some how I managed to get my jacket caught up in the rear dérailleur on my Sirrus Elite. This resulted in it breaking the lug on to which it is bolted to the frame. See pic for details! Even if I could find the bit that has come off I doubt whether it could be welded on, correct? I guess I need a replacement frame!

id say its a new frame ,,just transfer all the parts

Good news.
You don't need a new frame. The rear mech hanger has done its job by snapping thus preventing damage to the frame. You can buy new hangers, just make sure you get the right one one for your bike. Link to hangers.

Then it is just a case of removing the remains of the old one, attaching the new one and putting back on the derailleur. I had to replace mine a couple of years ago following a crash.

Thanks sdr gb, that's excellent. Only one problem now, which one!

Unfortunately I snapped a few derailleurs hangers in my time (including the one on my sirrus) but they are designed to fail rather than your frame/ derailleur and as sdr gb says you can get a replacement.

Found this, it may help. Specialized hanger chart. Just find the year and model of your bike.

Done, ordered from Edinburgh Bicycles. Isn't cc great, instead of buying new frame I've got away with only spending a tenner plus postage for next day delivery.

Superb

That sounds a very good price for the hanger, a spare for my Enduro was best part of thirty quid!

I was about to offer to take that useless frame off your hands, and only charge you postage for the service!

He's not that sad, he wants a proper bike.

Down here in carrot cruncher land we have hills. I need every single one of the 27 gears to get up them. In fact yesterday a few more would have been very helpful!

This what the jacket looked like AFTER it came out of the washing machine!

I did the same when my derailleur picked up a large sheet of plastic lying beside the trail. No separate hanger but with a titanium frame you can bend the lug back.
