I've got a 2015 venge that is used 95% as a crit bike.

Have been using 1x11 for 2 full seasons and don't see myself going back.

I've also crashed this frame about a dozen times (and it shows), so not too worried about losing value if/when I sell it.

I'm thinking of drilling out the rivits that hold the fdr hanger and using a heat gun to remove it from the frame. If I screw it up, will probably get cyclocarbon to fix it.

But wondering if anyone has tips for removing the fdr hanger from a carbon frame like this.

Thanks
Andy
