Wheels Manufacturing Dropout Saver

The Dropout Saver is designed to repair stripped or damaged threads on your rear derailleur hanger. It effectively creates a new, durable mounting point so you can attach your derailleur securely without needing to replace the entire dropout.

This specific version is designed for dropouts that are 7mm thick or less. Before purchasing, measure the thickness of your derailleur hanger mounting area to ensure it falls within this range.

While it is a straightforward repair, it does require some mechanical aptitude. You will need to drill out the existing hole to the correct size and then install the saver, so if you are not comfortable with precision tools or tapping threads, a local bike shop can handle it quickly.

It is machined from high-grade, aircraft-quality steel. This ensures the threads are strong enough to withstand the torque and vibration of shifting gears over the long term.

Each bag contains two pieces. This is helpful if you have two bikes needing repair or if you want a spare on hand for future maintenance.
