They have 1 week off in early Oct so maybe just shut their site down over that period.

I bought an SLX groupo from DELIC-BIKE store and can confirm it appears entirely legit and was delivered in good time.

Yep. I think I bought mine from ZTTO. Works well.
BTW. I was chasing shifting issues on my Highlander. A quick check of the alignment tool showed the hanger or frame interface to be horribly wonky. Once straightened and a quick retune shifting was perfect.

Cheers. Thinking the 2-3 times a year I will use if it does the job then be better than the $150 odd for a Park Tool.

I love a quality tool as much or more as the next person but it is such a simple tool you just don’t need anything more. I added a quick edit re Highlander to my post too.
Ha, main reason I was looking at getting one. Highlander has a clunky shift in the middle of the cassette. Limit screws all good, cable tension all good. So looking to be mech hanger. It was actually loose out of the box so thinking it probably got banged about in transit.

After I got the tool I checked all my bikes. By far the Deviate Hanger was made of the softest and most pliable alloy.
I would check any new bike in future and wouldn’t be surprised if all are out to some degree. With tolerances in the frame, paint and the hanger unless it’s checked before it’s sent out which I doubt I find it hard to see how any would arrive at the consumer perfectly straight.

Yep I have one too. Made a few modifications with set-screws to hold the different parts in place and to remove some of the play, but other than that it works just fine.
Was looking at the Unior Hanger Genie as well bit similar story all reviews say it’s not that great. Cannot justify $400 for an Abbey Tools.
Your Deviate deserves the best. For shame!
Sorry. I will spray it green and write abbey on the side.

Really ? I have had a DAG2 for ~10yrs, it's done overtime on 2 boys bikes since they day the first got a bike with a derailleur on it, plus my bikes. Estimated use of 100+ times and still as tight as the day I bought it.
Thanks. Seems to be a common issue and don’t want to muck around drilling and tapping. Found this one which has a set screw at the top which looks to stop the indicator sliding about:

The bit that screws into the hanger is fine, just the o ring system and a bit of bent tin passes me right off. I hate that people think Park make quality tools, they are garbage with a thin veneer of marketing
