Title: Derailleur Hangers Found!
Post by: jeepinoveru on August 30, 2011, 08:09:22 am

Just for anyone who needs a proflex derailleur hanger this guy has alot of them but doent know what they are for so they are cheap! I bought two of them a couple months ago. They were 5.99 with free shipping. Just thought I would help everyone out since I got lucky finding it. They are new old stock from factory, fit my 856 perfect, had to add the set screw hole though but was easy.

Which set screw hole? I think my 756 just has the one hole for the hex bolt shown in the picture.

Mine has a hole that a small setscrew that you would normally see on a electric car motor goes behind the large screw hole in the open area. If that makes any sense, they added that on the newer models. Think this one is ment for the 756 but works for the 856 also. Anyways just get you one if you need it, they were made by proflex so work perfect and are shiny..

Yeah, I bought one. It's aluminum, so like you said I can add another hole if it turns out it's missing one that I forgot about.

Did it come with the hex nut/bolt shown in the picture? I have no idea where I could find a spare one of those if the one I have ever rusts out.
