Hi guys,
Excuse the non technical description. I'll try to add a photo to show what's happened...
My OH was just out on the Diva taking it for a spin when he heard a clattering noise. Seems like part of the rear derailleur (think it's a shimano acera) came loose and is just hanging down dragging on the ground. The plate holding the two pulleys has come away from the rest of the mechanism and is now bent out of use. He found the spring that goes from the plate into the other part somewhere up the road.
Can I assume that I need to replace the whole derailleur mechanism or just the plate?
Does anyone have any idea how the plate fixes to the other part - is it likely to have snapped or is it a screw in?
Any idea if this a standard bike repair or is it specific to an ebike?
