Jen's Hardtail Resurrected - Repairing a Bent Derailleur Hanger

Rear Derailleur went into the spokes a few weeks ago.




Take a look at the old derailleur and the removed twisted link.

Time to go to http://derailleurhanger.com, right?  Looks like Hanger #31 to me



Wrong.  Let's bend her back to normal.  Heat her up first.

Twist.

Not too shabby.  I like the burned-paint look.



New derailleur.



Good as new!  Shifting perfect again;-)
