Wheels Manufacturing Derailleur Hanger

This hanger is precision-engineered for specific Diamondback models, including the Apex (2000-2002), X-10 (2002), X-20 (2002), X-25 (2002), and Zetec Comp (2000). Because derailleur hangers are frame-specific, we recommend visually comparing your current hanger to the product photos before purchasing.

Yes, this replacement hanger includes the required mounting hardware, specifically the M8 chainring bolt, so you have everything you need for a straightforward installation.

6061 aluminum is the industry standard for derailleur hangers because it offers an ideal balance of strength and weight. Crucially, it is designed to be the 'weak link' in your drivetrain, meaning it will bend or break to absorb impact, protecting your expensive frame and derailleur from more serious damage.

The black anodized finish is chemically bonded to the aluminum, making it significantly more durable and resistant to corrosion than standard paint or powder coating. While it may show minor surface scratches from trail debris over years of use, it will maintain its structural integrity and rust resistance.

Installation is generally straightforward and requires only basic hand tools. Since it is a direct replacement part, it should bolt on exactly like your original hanger, though you may need to perform a minor derailleur adjustment afterward to ensure crisp shifting.
