"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I have used a lot of hanger tools over the years, and the Hanger Alignment Gauge is the one that actually makes me confident in my measurement. The lockable feeler gauge is the detail that gets me every time on other tools, and having it here means I am not second-guessing a reading after the gauge bumps the tire. For any shop working on modern drivetrains with tight tolerances, this is the tool that gets the job done to the standard those bikes actually require.""A bent derailleur hanger used to be a nuisance. On a modern drivetrain with twelve or thirteen cogs packed into the same space that used to hold eight, it is a legitimate performance problem. The Abbey Bike Tools Hanger Alignment Gauge was built to address that reality, offering the kind of precision that entry-level hanger tools simply cannot deliver. What separates the Hanger Alignment Gauge from the rest of the field is how seriously it takes the measurement side of the job. Critical dimensions are held to tolerances as tight as 0. 0063mm, and the feeler gauge locks in place so a bump against the tire does not send you back to square one. The top half of the tool rotates to clear fender stays and frame tubes, and the extended T-bolt reaches the hangers tucked away on full suspension frames that other tools cannot access. The feeler gauge stores neatly inside the tool itself, which matters when you are working out of a travel kit. It is also rebuildable in the field by replacing the brass bushing in the T-bolt, meaning this is genuinely the last hanger tool you will need to buy."
