This was the result of a nice easy ride from taking the car to get serviced.

What happened? You can bend titanium back.

Oh dear, from the photo the hanger looks integrated with the frame

Damn. What happened?

Those Planet-X titanium frames don't have replaceable hangers, hopefully it can be repaired.

I'll take it to Bundy to get straightened out.

I was riding up Renwick st, and changed gears. The chain must have jammed or something, so the derailleur was torn in half and i only noticed the bent hanger after the walk home.

I bent mine a few weeks ago on a gorges ride I got stuck in a crevice in the road, fell off and then Simon ran into me :oops:) It wasn't as bad as yours though and I was able to fix it by giving it a yank with an adjustable spanner.

It's straightened out now, just have to rebuild my derailleur now.

Derailleur rebuild..... Fail. It seems i've lost a nylon washer/spacer on the road when the derailleur was torn apart.

I think i'll scavenge from my touring bike for now, and hopefully get a new derailleur before Bright.

Not pretty. Glad you had Ti though. Had the same thing happen in a move once. Frame dropouts bent back into shape in minutes but derailleur gone for good.

Happy riding once its fixed
