  1. One of my bikes, a DH Jeep Grand Cherokee, has broken its rear (Shimano XTR) derailleur hanger. Now
    I am looking for its replacement, first time in my whole life for such a part... and simply put I am
    completely lost. Could any one out there please HELP me finding / searching this replacement ?

    Just kidding bro. You'll probably have to get a hold of a Jeep dealer because hangers are frame
    specific parts, usually only available from a dealer.

    Cool link. And I need to order a spare hanger for the i-drive.

    Have you done business with them? I can't find a telephone number or address anywhere on
    their website.

    Basically true, but if you don't have the disposable income, you gotta make do.

  10. thanks to everyone for helping... besides, at $2400 (price in the states) and 4000 miles far from
    there, a grand cherokee isn't exactly a disposable bike. i like its frame, dislike its breaks, a
    long etcetera, but ...

    Yes, I have. In fact I ordered and received 3 hangers for a GT XCR3000. I just ordered extras
    for my Yeti.

    I said the same thing. But, after waiting 2 months for GT to send me a hanger (which they never
    did), these guys came through in 5 days.

    Actually, I heard that Specialized was remotely involved with these.

    That's awesome. I hope they do well. If I ever get my DBR going again it would be nice to know a
    place like this exists.

    Awesome! Thanks again for the link; I was just looking around town for a hanger and nobody had one.

    Gotta love those over the bars at 2 mph. One face first into a tree, which dented my top tube and
    nearly took out my front der. Several months later, same thing except no tree this time, but I did
    manage to take out my hanger. Can't wait to try out my "new trick" on the Turner ;^ )

    Apparently there is a high end bike maker with bikes that they are branding "Jeep", there was also a
    [censored] bike manufacturer making disposable "Jeep" bikes for greater dept. stores everywhere.

    If you buy a Jeep bike, it's because you're a beginner that hasn't researched purchasing a mountain
    bike in a sensible way,and if you're a beginner you really ,really don't want a downhill bike. Jeep
    are OK selling mock downhill bikes to novices because they know very little about mountain biking,
    and lots about selling innapropriate machinery to city dwellers with a hankering for that good ol
    outdoor style.

    For 2400 bucks you could have got a really nice trail bike that would last you for years and allow
    you to improve your skills. Sell the Jeep quick, although you may find this difficult, take the
    money to a real bike shop, and ask them to save your soul.

    cheers
