Adam’s H.A.T. – Hanger Alignment Tool – ($36) is an ultralight, emergency derailleur Hanger Alignment Tool for mid-ride repair. The H.A.T. offers the peace of mind that if you or a friend bends their hanger during a long ride, you can fix it well enough to get back on the trail and have fun.

The Forage Cycles patent-pending H.A.T. works by allowing you to attach your front thru-axle to the bent derailleur hanger, and use your axle and front wheel together to maximize leverage and control while straightening the hanger.

Rivendell’s Appaloosa is a true all-rounder. It’s 100 percent perfect for 90 percent of the riding you’re likely to do, and 90 percent perfect for the other ten percent. Make sense? It’s ideal for tires between the 1.5 – 2.2″ range. Build them as a hilly bike or a ’round town cruiser.
