Following a fall, the gear hanger on this Scott Addict bike was bent beyond repair. This might seem like a frame to be thrown away, as the hanger, being designed as a fixed part by the manufacturer, cannot be removed or replaced. However, Doktorbike repaired it by rebuilding the derailleur hanger on a lathe and milling machine and securing it to the frame with a stainless steel screw and epoxy resin, making the part replaceable in the unfortunate event of a subsequent breakage.
