I went for a bit of an intense ride with a mate today on my old shitty mountain bike, and eventually snapped the derailer. Rofl, Im getting a trials bike on monday.

I had to walk home :( At least it was an awesome ride.

looks like you've snapped the derailleur/derailer (both correct) hanger, a sacrificial piece of metal which would cost under $30 to replace.

But yeah, a new bike is heaps better.

To add: The hanger is a seperate part to the derailleur. You can replace the hanger without replacing the derailleur. :)
