BVC-CHAT Rear Derailleur Hanger

[Riggs, David]

Definitely give Orbea a call. They've been great to work with when I've had problems. Luckily the hanger is replaceable.

Glad you're not too messed up as well.

Good afternoon!   I had a bit of a tumble last night when my rear derailleur  hangar sheared in half causing my derailler and chain to get caught up in my  spokes and slamming me to the ground.  After a couple of cuts, a chipped  tooth, some nice road rash, a VERY sore shoulder, a good size swelling on my  head, a trip to the ER, x-rays, a CT scan, and a couple of vicoden, im up and  moving.     However, my bike isn't in the best looking shape. I'm  wondering if I should complain to Orbea of if that is something that "just  happens." The bike is 2 years old and only has about 3,500 miles on  it.  There was no warning other than, looking back on it, the bike wasn't  shifting properly for a few miles before it happened.  Anyone ever have  this happen before?   Josh
