Rear derailleur special hanger blot and nut question

[ChaleJake]

My Q arrived but I have found the directions a bit lacking, actually my skill and knowledge severely lacking. I am hung up on how to attach the derailleur. The instructions reference a special hanger nut and bolt.

Could someone post a pic of what this looks like? My plan is to get the q assembled and then have my LBS check my work. I looked at the videos but the derailleur was already on the bike. Thanks you. I appreciate the help.

5mm hex hanger bolt

I have studied and now believe I am missing the hanger bolt. I finally have the chain untangled and everything oriented. The hanger fits into the frame groove. I can't figure out how to attach the derailleur to the frame. I think you use the bolt and then install the tire. I am going to see if I can find a bolt that fits. Bike shop doesn't open until tomorrow.

Bolt

Should look like this, might be in one of the bags with other nuts and bolts.

Thanks but ??

thank you for the pic but I think this is a different derailleur. The Q has a SRAM dual drive w/ click box. The clickbox fits onto the axle end. I have no nut or bolt left in any bag. I wish it looked like that. I think the click box is going to be a pain.

I had the same trouble

You should find the hanger bolt already threaded into the derailleur. It is not obviously a bolt until you remove it from the derailleur.

Thanks, Got it!

Thank you. I finally found the bolt. TimH gave me the final clue. I am on my way.

Clickbox installation

The clickbox was kind of a nuisance to install, and I'm still not good at it. But once on correctly, it stays on. It's nice being able to shift the DualDrive while stopped--especially when I've had to stop unexpectedly, or on a hill, and need a much lower gear for starting.

These may help you see how to get the clickbox on:

Glad you found your derailleur bolt. It took two of us most of last Memorial Day to put my Q451 together. I think sorting the chain was the hardest part.
