Whether it's to replace a bent or broken hanger or you want to purchase a spare (just in case), identifying which one you need can be problematic. Which is why we've put together this guide. In 'How to choose the correct derailleur hanger -part 2' we list every gear hanger required to fit any Ribble frame manufactured since 2018.
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 a sudden impact. It does this by bending or even breaking completely. In doing so, restricting damage to the hanger itself and possibly the rear derailleur. But crucially, NOT the frame.
To identify the derailleur hanger you need, we have put together the following guide - How to chosoe 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 Derailleur hangers - Part 1.

16. CGR 725 / Endurance 725 Disc
These models have adopted the traditional method of having the mech hnager integarted into the frame. Thanks to their steel construction, there's little chance of the hanegr snapping in the event of a crash. And even if becomes slightly misaligned, its easy to bend (cold set to anyone in the know) the hanger back into shape with little risk to the frames structural integrity.
