Another stupid question by a pissed off dex

[dexter]

Ok, let me give you a little story just to set up the question. So im riding up at tiger mountain today and go to manuel over a big rock/log in the trail and after down shifting i hear grlunkcasfds and my bike wont peddle anymore. As i look down to see the carnage that has take place i find my chain on the grond with my rear derailer still attached to it and i assume that this isnt suposed to happen. After dismounting and inspecting it further i find that i sheared the bracket that the derailer is attached to. Now keep in mind i have had this bike for less than a month and have never crashed on it. And this happened almost exactly in the middle of the ride about 6 miles into about a 12 mile ride so i hade to walk it for about six miles. And i was about as hot as an ant under a magnafine glass.
So right now im wondering to myself what the fuck? I assume that this isnt suposed to happen and it doesnt usually. So now the question is do i take the bike back and try to have them fix it? Will they fix it? Because i have only had it for a month for crying out loud.

As long as the hangar is replaceable ,which on a lot of new bikes they are, you're golden. Those things, depending on what they are built like can break super easy. Go back to the shop that you bought your bike from, and more than likely they will hook you up with a new one. Otherwise they are only like 10 bucks. Word of advice, be really cool to the folks at the shop. If you're nice to them, they will be nice to you. Also when you buy a new hangar, buy two and keep the extra in your pack at all times and on all rides.i

Completely agree. Make sure you always have a spare dropout (I could have used one on Porcupine more than once). With the bike being that new, any good shop will fix it for you, provided you weren't hucking 30' to flat. Good luck.
