Derailleur Hanger?
Postby Mr888 » Sat Jan 27, 2007 1:34 pm
I'm currently building up a Mountian bike made up of parts I've picked up over the years. Everything's come together nicely, but does anyone know which type of derailleur hanger should work with this frame?
The LBS, didn't have a clue. There's nothing on the frame as to indicate what kind of make it is except for the word "Nomad" on the rear stays.
Any Ideas?

- Giant OCR road has a different hanger
- Avanti Atomic mtb has a different hanger
- Huffy mtb has the hanger as part of the actual lug
- Repco superlight has the hanger as part of the actual lug
Seems you best option is to take the bike down to the LBS.
If all else fails, you could get Bundy to weld in a new lug, don't quote me on the price but I think he charges something like $40.

The frame looks more of a modern design (probably 3 years old, but it's been well used). It uses the A-head system for the forks and head set, and 31.8mm clamp for the front derailleur. (I believe that this is not the standard on most MTBs?)cludence wrote: How old is the frame?

Like I said, the bike is being put together with bits and peices. The six speed was actually off my old-old k-mart special. The wheels were still in good condition, so on it went.Mulger bill wrote:It looks like a recess for a replaceable hanger, complete with hole for the bolt, not sure about how low end it would be looking at the work around the dropout? But there is the six speed cassette on a bolt up axle too???

The friend that gave me the frame has moved to England so I can't confirm the brand. I did speak to his sister and she says that it could be either a specialized or santa cruz. I'll have to send him an email and hopefully get a definate answer.
BTW: Don't give up on eBay. It's been a god send at times....

As far as I know, the only hardtail that Santa Cruz has sold is the Chameleon which has horizintal drop outs.

Thanks for all the help. My friend replied to my email, and informed me that the frame is a KHS Arlite 500 Nomad (didn't tell me what year). Anyway, derailleur.com came to the rescue (thanks Mike for the tip) and they do have a replacement part (#52). Unfortunately it will cost me about $50 to send here.....that's half of what I've spent on this bike?
I guess I'll have to hunt down one from eBay, junk heap or another local bike shop.
Cheers

Thats Alan or Al as we call him. Hes got everything in his shop, if he can find it.cludence wrote:Sorry, I have tandems on the brain as I was talking about them today. I meant to say Penny Farthings. -Thats what he was making. I am often over that way as one of the wheelchair places is just up the road so called in to see them while I was there.
You must live really close to me. Theres a ride on Saturdays my club does called Saturday slowies. It sets off at 6.30am from cnr Marrickville rd and Illarware road Marrickville and they ride over to centennial park if you are interested.

The ride leaves out the front of Micks store. Sogood is banned from Saturday Slowies, he's too fast.

As for going fast, no prob there with me. Would more than likely get booted for being too slow!
