Cannondale Scalpel Derailleur Hanger

Yes, this is an official Cannondale replacement derailleur hanger, ensuring it meets the exact manufacturing standards of your original equipment.

This hanger, model number K33001, is designed specifically for Cannondale Scalpel frames. We recommend verifying your bike's specific model year or checking the part number stamped on your existing hanger to ensure a perfect match.

Derailleur hangers are engineered to precise tolerances to ensure smooth shifting and to act as a sacrificial part that protects your frame during an impact. Using a genuine part guarantees the correct geometry for your drivetrain, which prevents alignment issues that can lead to poor shifting or chain drops.

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic tools, such as a hex key. It is a standard maintenance task, but ensure you properly torque the mounting bolt to the manufacturer's specifications to prevent it from loosening while riding.

It is highly recommended. A bent hanger is a common trail-side failure that can immediately end your ride, and because they are model-specific, you likely won't find a compatible replacement at a local shop while out on the trail.
