{"product_id":"pilo-d109-derailleur-hanger-for-bmc","title":"Derailleur Hanger for BMC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D109 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout specifically designed for BMC framesets. If you have snapped a hanger on a climb through Lonavala or caught a kerb on Delhi's broken roads, this is the part that gets you back on the bike quickly — protecting your frame's dropout from far costlier damage in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads demand a well-stocked toolbox, and a spare derailleur hanger is one of the most overlooked essentials. Pilo manufactures to tight tolerances, ensuring the D109 aligns correctly with your BMC dropout without any play or misalignment — critical when you're dialling in shifting on long Western Ghats descents or navigating Hyderabad's patchy tarmac. Keep one in your saddle bag or workshop drawer; it's cheap insurance for an expensive frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hanger is frame-specific, not body-size-specific — fit is determined by your BMC model, not your height or build. Verify your BMC frame model before ordering, as multiple hanger variants exist across BMC's range. If you're unsure which variant fits your frame, contact Cobbled Climbs before placing your order to confirm compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D109 is engineered exclusively for compatible BMC framesets. It works across mechanical and electronic rear derailleurs from Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo where the BMC frame is the determining factor. Always carry a spare, as hangers are designed to be sacrificial — they bend or break before your frame does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain spares kit with a quality chain tool, a rear derailleur from Shimano or SRAM, inner and outer cables with ferrules, and a chain wear indicator. Keeping these essentials together means any roadside hanger swap can turn into a full drivetrain service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pilo\"\u003eExplore the full Pilo collection at Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% genuine — authorised Pilo retailer in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCash on delivery available nationwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-day easy returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped from Mumbai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert advice — our team rides this gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.cc-faq{margin:32px 0 24px}.cc-faq__item{border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:0}.cc-faq__item:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5}.cc-faq__q{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;padding:24px 0;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:24px;outline:none}.cc-faq__q::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.cc-faq__q:focus-visible{outline:2px solid #000;outline-offset:-2px}.cc-faq__q::after{content:\"\";width:14px;height:14px;flex-shrink:0;background-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,\u003csvg viewBox=\\\"0 0 14 14\\\" xmlns=\\\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\\\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\\\"M2 5l5 5 5-5\\\" stroke=\\\"%23000\\\" stroke-width=\\\"1.5\\\" fill=\\\"none\\\"\/\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e');background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center;transition:transform .2s ease}.cc-faq__item[open] .cc-faq__q::after{transform:rotate(180deg)}.cc-faq__a{padding:0 0 28px;margin:0}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003csection class=\"cc-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently Asked Questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWhat is the Pilo D109 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D109 is a direct replacement hanger for compatible BMC framesets. Its primary purpose is to act as a sacrificial component — it absorbs impact from crashes, kerb strikes, or falls and breaks before your frame's dropout does. Every BMC owner should keep one as a workshop or travel spare, especially on longer rides in areas like the Western Ghats or Rajasthan where a bike shop may be far away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow do I know if the Pilo D109 fits my BMC frame?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe D109 is designed for specific BMC frame models, not all BMC bikes.
