sofrider derailleur

[ChrisD]

Good morning,
I have purchased a sofrider and was wondering does the derailleur have a screw to attach it to the frame or is it just held on by the through axle? It was bought used and shipped to me but did not have a hanger screw. First time with a Recumbent so please excuse my ignorance.

Thanks.
Chris

I haven't seen one, but consider that there would be corresponding holes on the derailleur hanger and the frame?
And possibly, one of them is threaded?

There might be another mounting scheme, though - perhaps a bracket that clamps on the frame or ? But you could look at those possibilities while waiting for someone more knowledgeable.

There is a derailleur hanger. It screws to the power-side leg of the fork where the dropout is. It's connected using a screw that looks like a chain wheel bolt. It's a fairly common hanger that can be bought retail; it's used on several mountain bikes from multiple manufacturers. Robert @ Cruzbike may be able to provide you one.
