Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I'm changing out all the components on my bike and got to the rear derailleur and got stumped at this point. Changing from a 12+ year old tiagra groupset to a 105 groupset for reference. Ideas welcome. Thanks by juggled_balls Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair

Acrobatic-Position74 on December 4, 2025 10:45 am No you don’t need to change the hanger. You need a 5mm Allen key and back out the main bolt. Only time you need to replace the hanger is when it’s broken off or badly damaged and shouldn’t be straightened.
