GT RTS replacement gear hangers available ?

[uk gearmuncher]

Anyone know if replacement gear hangers are available for a ‘95 gt rts ? I’ve done a search and can find hangers for most old models but no mention of the rts’s. Any ideas ?

You're not watching that RTS 2 on the bay are you?

As far as I know, they take the same hanger as the equivalent year Zaskar. But I'm not 100% sure.

I am (although the missing hanger is a worry). I'm desperately after an rts. Maybe I should be more patient.....

Re:

I clocked that one too. It's a shame (or maybe suspicious) that there is no close up of the DS dropout.

Have you asked the seller for a picture? I'm pretty sure they are the same dropout as used on their other alloy frames, it's just a matter of establishing if it is the two bolt or one bolt version.

Yep I asked for one yesterday but no word back yet. He also said it was a '93 but when he sent me the frame number, it is indeed a '95. I'll be honest, I'm never convinced when the hanger of a bike is missing (why would it be ?) so I'm a little suspicious of this one.

I'm not sure if they are the same as other hangers, but I might have a spare one.

Yup they are the same hangers. I have a load of OEM GT hangers if you need a couple. PM me if you like

Single bolt version

earlier double bolt version

Your ebay frame is a double bolt one which are no longer quite so common

I've seen a few rear mechs for sale on Ebay with a hanger still attached, some people aren't too clever at which allen bolt to undo...
