Its the gear hanger.

Unfortunately prone to damage in prangs, and on decent bikes should alays be replaceable.
Luckily yours is.

They are a specific fit to the make/model of bike so you just can't ask a bike shop for a
generic one.

but for some reason they have a tendency to be uber-expensive. I had to get one for a Scott frame
about two years ago and it cost £16 direct from Scott!
