BVC-CHAT Rear Derailleur Hanger

[Josh Benn]

Orbea is saying no go on a full out warranty so far.  Saying it must
have been damaged somehow prior.  
 
They do have a crash replacement program and Richard at B/CS Bikes is
calling to check on that right now.  I'll see how that turns out before
I decide how much to press.  
 
Until then, anyone have a 54 bike I can borrow?   :)

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

When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark,   when work becomes
monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount   a bicycle
and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but
the ride you are taking.   - Arthur Conan Doyle, in an   1896 article
