Wheels Manufacturing Derailleur Hanger

Derailleur hangers are frame-specific, meaning they must match the exact geometry of your bike's rear dropout to ensure proper shifting alignment. Using the wrong hanger can cause poor gear indexing or damage to your drivetrain.

No, this is not a universal part. Wheels Manufacturing produces hundreds of different hanger models, so you must verify that the specific part number matches your bike's make, model, and year before purchasing.

No, this package includes only the derailleur hanger itself. You will need to reuse the existing mounting hardware from your current hanger or source new bolts separately.

CNC-machined 6061 aluminum is generally stiffer and more precise than the cast or stamped hangers found on many stock bikes. This added rigidity often results in crisper, more reliable shifting performance.

The hanger is designed as a 'sacrificial' part. It is engineered to bend or break during an impact to absorb energy, thereby protecting your expensive frame and derailleur from catastrophic damage.

While some hangers can be temporarily straightened with a dedicated alignment tool, the metal often weakens significantly after being bent. Replacing it is the safer, more reliable option to ensure consistent shifting.
