Specialized Rear Derailleur Hanger

Derailleur hangers are frame-specific, not universal. While this hanger is compatible with part number S182600001, you should verify your bike's specific hanger model by checking the Specialized website's hanger finder or comparing your current hanger's shape directly against the product photos.
