First one snapped in late June, I believe, shortly after I was getting back to the bike post-accident.  About 9500 miles on the bike or so, and many bent hangers (which were bent back, of course) over the time I had it.  I figured it was fatigue.

After replacing the hanger, derailleur (it was pretty mangled), a few chain links, and truing the back wheel, it was mostly fine.  Well, aside from snapping a spoke last week. I took off the cassette and saw a few spokes had fought the chain and nearly lost during the hanger snapping.

This afternoon on my ride home from work I was having shifting issues, so I tried adjusting cable tension a bit at the twisty thing on the derailleur.  Went one way, shifted worse.  Okay, try the other way.  One shift and it snapped again.  Low speed, derailleur looks to be fine.  But definitely need a new hanger, a few chain links (which I thankfully have in my tool box), and a new bit of housing at the rear of the frame which I probably should've replaced last time.

I have 205 miles to go until I hit 10,000, but the bike just doesn't seem to want to get there.

Well, that's my venting for the day 

might be time for some wheel love too if it has been kissed by the chain.
