Whether to replace a bent or broken hanger or carry a spare...just in case, identifying the correct model of hanger can be tricky. Luckily we've taken some of the mystery out of this process with our handy guide. Here, we list every gear hanger required to fit any Ribble frame produced between 2018 and the present.
What is a derailleur hanger? Derailleur hangers are a cheap and effective way to prevent a frame from suffering potentially catastrophic damage if the rear derailleur is subjected to a significant crash or impact. As a sacrificial part, the hanger is designed to absorb the shock of any sudden impact. It does this by bending or even breaking completely. In doing so, it hopefully restricts damage to the hanger alone or, in worst-case scenarios, the hanger and rear derailleur. But crucially, NOT the frame. Saving you £s and a whole of heartache into the bargain.
We've put together the following guide to help you identify the derailleur hanger you need. It covers all framesets manufactured since 2018. If you own an older model, you should find the hanger you need in derailleur hangers - Part 1.
1. CGR 725 / Endurance 725 Disc
These models have adopted the traditional method of having the mech hanger incorporated into the frame. And thanks to durability of steel, there's little chance of the hanger sustaining significant damage in the event of a crash. And even if you do manage to bend it slightly, the spring-like quality of steel means you can easily 'cold set' it (that's industry parlance for bend it back), as long as you're careful.

This model of hanger is compatible with our Allroad SL R and Allroad SL R e carbon models (incompatible with Allroad SL).

11. Alloy Disc Frames with a 162mm Thru-Axle
To ascertain whether this is the hanger you require, you will first need to remove the rear thru-axle and ensure it is the 162mm version (see example image above).

12. CGR AL with 157mm Thru-Axle
