KONA Jake the Snake 1999 - Derailleur Hanger

[svartframtid]

Hello, just destroyed my back derailleur (stock/Shimano 105 5500, normal cage) and bent the hanger something fierce while on a ride.
The rear tire and frame look fine, as does the cassette - but I need a new back derailleur and a hanger which fits my bike!

From what I can ascertain, it's a 1999 Jake the Snake (red/orange, a la https://cdn.bicyclebluebook.com/bikeped ... 0Snake.JPG), but I can't seem to find any information online regarding the exact model of derailleur hanger I require.

Can anyone help?

Expensive but if all else fails....
They are well made though and you get a sticker!

If it's just bent a bit and I can bend it straight ... is that a bad idea?

Re:

It might be alright but getting it exactly straight without the special alignment tool is very difficult.

Alignment tool is only £34 from CRC

hamger is same thread as wheel axle so fit hanger alongside rear wheel, screw full front wheel into hanger. Check for wheels being parallel in all directions, adjust check again etc.
