Unior Hanger Genie, # 1602/5.
The Hanger Genie 1602/2 is the original. We made it because no other hanger alignment tool we tried felt right for the modern drivetrains we service. 11-speed and 12-speed cassettes punish hanger drift in ways a 7-speed never did, and the older generation of hanger gauges weren't designed for that level of precision. The 1602/2 was the answer; the Hanger Genie 2.0 is its refined sibling, and both live in the catalog for shops that want their own preference.
What the tool does
Thread the 1602/2 into the rear derailleur hanger threads. The tool's arm extends out to the wheel rim and presents a measurement reference at four positions around the wheel: typically 12 o'clock, 3, 6, and 9. The hanger is true when all four positions read the same distance to the rim; it's bent when one or more positions read shorter or longer. Bend the hanger by hand against the leverage the tool provides until the readings converge.
The 1602/2 is intentionally simple. No sealed bearings, no welded heads, no lockable gauge. The arm is the reference, your hand is the bending force, and the readings are the feedback loop. That simplicity is the design choice; the tool has no parts that can wear out.
Compatibility
The 1602/2 fits bikes with wheel sizes from 20″ through 29+″. Road, gravel, MTB, kids' bikes, fat bikes; the arm extends or retracts to land on the rim at any of those sizes. Nearly any bike you put it on, the tool fits.
Specs
Compatible wheel sizes: 20″ through 29+″
Operation: thread-in axle, manual bend correction via tool leverage
