Yo fellas, not posted on here for a while. It's nice to be back!
I have an issue with my rear derailleur hanger. When the frame was being stored something must have rolled over the hanger and snapped it.
I've bought the closest replacement I could find and it's almost identical but does need filing slightly for a perfect fit.
My plan is to obtain a suitable metal file, mark the outline of the old hanger against the new one, clamp the new hanger in my vice & begin filing.
Can anyone tell me what sort of file I need specifically to do this? And is my method above the best way to do it?
Thanks very kindly
