If only that never happened...

Last week, on my way to work, a surprise hit me hard!
Broken derailleur hanger! They say it happens when the derailleur too close from the spokes of the wheel but not my case...

Maybe the chain was the problem...
Then again I don't know if it is the cause... But a few weeks before, I found a loose link!

Anyway, it is a three-month old bike so still under warranty... However, derailleur hangers are supposed to break under high stress on the derailleur itself. So might not be covered...
Anyhow, I hope I'll get something back from ChainReactionCycle.com (where I bought it)... Otherwise, €200 more to spend on repairs for a €1300 bike...
