Attempting to ride the Kirroughtree Red route (in record time!) resulted in demolishing the drive chain.
Thankfully, the mech hanger gave in before either the mech or the frame.
The damage looks worse than it actually is and could have been fixed on the trail side if I wasn't 5mins from the van.
We always carry spare mech hangers for this (common) mechanical issue.
Try the search option on the following link to find the correct one for your ride.
Annoyingly, pretty much each make and model of bike has a different hanger. Therefore, I carry an emergency hanger which can be fitted to the majority of bikes 'to get you home'.
Alternatively, ditch all gears and therefore the requirement for a hanger...
All zipped up and ready for the freewheel retreat.
ahh i see the problem,
