Carrera gryphon mech hanger

[MarinMartin]

Bit of a long shot but just picked up an old Carrera Gryphon hybrid for road use. Of course being in lockdown meant I bought it blind and it turned out to have one of those emergency 'get you home' mech hangers on it :roll: (as well as one of the most buckled wheels I've ever seen :facepalm: ) It was cheap enough to not be too upset.

I'm going to rebuild it anyway but I didn't have the old mech hanger with it and I'm stuck trying to figure out which one I need. Does anyone know what it should have as trying to find out is proving to be a nightmare. I've attached a photo to hopefully help a bit but all of the ones I thought it was aren't right. Maybe someone just happens to have a 2008 (I think) gryphon that I can see what the hanger is supposed to be? Wishful thinking but you never know.

Forget everything!

My coffee induced delirium has found

there appears to be a couple that look identical but the screw holes are ever so slightly different

£25 is a bit steep though, I'll carry on looking until the caffeine wears off.

Before I fall face first into my porridge there are two that share very similar shapes and seem to be used with Boardman frames

Re:

Its not those boardman ones unfortunately or the 183. That was my first thought but its too square at the rear of the dropout, mine is definitely that first picture on the blue bike with the slightly more rounded edge

Re:

Ironically Ive just picked up the comedy bike for next years mayhem and it has what looks like a nearly identical mech hanger. Just my luck its missing as well

well that was minutes of a caffeine fueled frenzy wasted then...

It was the one listed for your Gryphon.

Your caffeine fueled frenzy was not in vein, I had exactly the same problem with a Carerra Gryphon 2008 gear mech hanger and due to your hard work ordered the 183 hanger, it fits like a glove, so many thanks for your hard work, very much appreciated!
