Thanks.<br />I thought all bikes "required" a hanger, but my research (and your answer to my question) has shown me that its not the case.<br />You see, I presently have one bicycle and it has an aluminum frame. I have come to learn that all such frames need the hanger because it provides the weak point in case of overstress. However, the frame I am building is steel and doesn't need the hanger (it has the tab).<br />Thanks for your reply. This whole BLOGing community is really teaching me a lot.<br /><br />Cheers.Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394464208622993678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676045436294463991.post-51484814283413425872012-03-31T07:28:00.586-06:002012-03-31T07:28:00.586-06:00Wilson, in my third photo from the top, you can al...Wilson, in my third photo from the top, you can almost see that my rear derailleur is bolted to a tab that extends down from the rear frame drop out. It is integral to the rear dropout. Frames designed for rear derailleurs commonly have such a tab. Whereas frames designed for single speed commonly do not. Does this answer your question? Or did I miss your point?Ponderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042079750126434523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676045436294463991.post-64314855499943070692012-03-30T18:03:12.644-06:002012-03-30T18:03:12.644-06:00I have a question.
