The derailleur hanger is a small but essential component that plays a vital role in the performance and protection of your bicycle's drivetrain. If you own a compatible Pinarello Prince, Pinarello Dogma, Merckx, Gitane, Haibike, or Vitus bike, this aluminum derailleur hanger is the ideal replacement for a damaged or bent original part.

Sold without mounting screws, this derailleur hanger is brand new and has never been installed. It is supplied without the original packaging, but this does not affect its quality, durability, or performance in any way. Manufactured from lightweight aluminum, it provides an excellent balance of strength, precision, and reliability.

What is a derailleur hanger ?

A derailleur hanger is the component that connects the rear derailleur to the bicycle frame. Although it is relatively small, it performs a crucial function by protecting the frame in the event of a crash, impact, or accidental knock.

Rather than allowing the force of an impact to damage the frame or the rear derailleur, the hanger is designed to bend or break first. This sacrificial design helps prevent much more expensive repairs and keeps your bike protected.

Replacing a bent or broken derailleur hanger is essential for restoring accurate gear shifting and maintaining the proper alignment of the drivetrain.

Compatible with multiple bike brands

This derailleur hanger is compatible with selected models from several well-known bicycle manufacturers, including:

• Pinarello Prince

• Pinarello Dogma

• Merckx

• Gitane

• Haibike

• Vitus

Before purchasing, it is recommended to compare the shape of your existing derailleur hanger with this model to ensure compatibility. Bicycle manufacturers may use different hanger designs depending on the model year or frame version.

Lightweight aluminum construction

This derailleur hanger is made from high-quality aluminum, offering several important advantages:

• Lightweight design

• Excellent mechanical strength

• Corrosion resistance

• Precision-machined for an accurate fit

Aluminum is the preferred material for derailleur hangers because it is strong enough to securely support the rear derailleur while remaining sacrificial in the event of an impact, helping to protect the frame from serious damage.

Brand new without original packaging

This derailleur hanger is supplied brand new but without the original retail packaging. It has never been fitted or used and remains in excellent condition.

Products sold without packaging often come from surplus stock or bulk distribution, allowing cyclists to purchase genuine replacement parts at a competitive price without compromising on quality.

Supplied without mounting screws

Please note that this derailleur hanger is sold without mounting screws.

In most cases, the screws from your existing hanger can be reused if they are still in good condition. Before installation, it is advisable to inspect:

• The condition of the threads

• Any signs of wear or corrosion

• Proper alignment of the new hanger

If the original screws show signs of damage, replacing them is recommended to ensure a secure installation.

Why replace a damaged derailleur hanger ?

A bent or cracked derailleur hanger can lead to several drivetrain issues, including:

• Poor shifting performance

• Chain skipping

• Unusual drivetrain noise

• Increased risk of rear derailleur damage

• Premature wear of the cassette and chain

Even a slight bend can affect derailleur alignment and reduce shifting accuracy. Replacing the hanger promptly helps restore smooth gear changes and prevents additional wear on drivetrain components.

Easy installation

Replacing a derailleur hanger is generally a straightforward maintenance task. After removing the rear wheel and rear derailleur, the damaged hanger can be removed and replaced with the new one using the appropriate mounting hardware.

Once installed, it is recommended to check the derailleur alignment and fine-tune the rear derailleur adjustment to achieve precise and reliable shifting.
