WHEELS Mfg Derailleur Hanger 93

Derailleur hangers are frame-specific, not universal. You must match the hanger shape and mounting pattern to your specific bike frame, as even slight variations can cause shifting issues. We recommend checking your bike manufacturer's website or comparing your current hanger visually against the hanger's specific mounting profile.

CNC-machined hangers, like this one from Wheels Mfg, are cut from a solid block of aluminum rather than being cast in a mold. This process results in a tighter tolerance and a more precise fit, which helps ensure your derailleur aligns perfectly for crisp, reliable shifting.

Yes, this hanger is designed as a direct replacement for your bike's original equipment. It is engineered to meet or exceed the factory specifications for fit and function, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your existing drivetrain components.

Installation is generally straightforward and typically requires only a set of hex keys or a screwdriver, depending on your frame's specific mounting hardware. You will need to remove the rear wheel and the derailleur, swap the old hanger for the new one, and then reattach the derailleur, ensuring all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

Yes, it is highly recommended. A bent or broken hanger is a common cause of shifting failure and can end a ride prematurely. Because they are designed to be the 'weak link' that breaks to protect your frame during an impact, having a spare on hand ensures you can get back on the road or trail quickly.
