How to choose the correct Ribble Derailleur Hanger - Part Two

Identifying which derailleur hanger you need can be tricky, whether you need to replace a bent or broken hanger or carry a spare (just in case). Helpfully, we've put together this guide, which should help you ascertain what you need to get your tour pride and joy back on the road. Here, we list every gear hanger required to fit any Ribble frame produced from 2018 to the present.

What is a derailleur hanger? Derailleur hangers are a cheap and effective way to prevent a frame from suffering potentially catastrophic damage in the event that 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 of heartache into the bargain.

To identify the derailleur hanger you need, we've put together the following guide - How to choose the correct derailluer hanger - part 2. This guide covers all of the framesets in the current Ribble lineup. If yours is an older model of bike, you should find the hanger you need in part one of the guide - Derailleur hangers - Part 1.

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). Please refer to section ten to find the correct hanger for the 157mm thru-axle version. The 162mm mech hanger is only compatible with the following framesets:

• CGR AL (2021 onwards)
• Endurance AL Disc
• CX AL (cyclocross)
• Hybrid AL
• Gravel AL

In 2021, the CGR AL underwent a slight redesign. This resulted in a slight change to thru-axle length, which now differs to earlier versions. Please remove your rear thru-axle to ensure it is the 157mm version before ordering this mech hanger. However, if you require the 162mm axle, please refer to section 10 above.

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.

If you own a Ribble bike of an older vintage, manufactured pre-2018, you should find the hanger you need in Part 1 of our derailleur hanger guide.
