{"product_id":"pilo-d301-derailleur-hanger-for-de-rosa-drag-eddy","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Cinelli, De Rosa, Drag, Eddy Merckx, Orro, Ribble","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D301 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout hanger compatible with De Rosa, Drag, and Eddy Merckx frames. If your rear derailleur has taken a hit on a potholed city road or after a tumble on a descent in Lonavala, a bent or snapped hanger is your frame's first line of defence — and replacing it correctly matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads — from Chennai's busy arterials to the rough gradients outside Pune — are unforgiving on drivetrain components. A bent hanger left unaddressed causes persistent ghost shifting and can destroy a rear derailleur entirely. Pilo's D301 is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring it fits De Rosa, Drag, and Eddy Merckx frames accurately. At Rs. 3,986, it is a sensible insurance policy for a frame that likely cost many times more. Keep a spare in your riding bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerailleur hangers are frame-specific and not sized by rider weight or build. The D301 fits designated De Rosa, Drag, and Eddy Merckx frame models. Before ordering, confirm your exact frame model and year to ensure the D301 matches your dropout geometry. If unsure, photograph your existing hanger alongside a ruler and contact Cobbled Climbs — we are happy to verify compatibility before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D301 is designed for specific De Rosa, Drag, and Eddy Merckx frame models. It is compatible with both Shimano and SRAM rear derailleurs mounted to those frames. Hangers should be checked for straightness after any crash or kerb strike using a hanger alignment tool. Threads should be kept clean and lightly greased during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete the repair correctly with a derailleur alignment tool from your workbench kit. A quality chain lubricant suited to Indian monsoon or dry-season conditions keeps the drivetrain running after the fix. Consider pairing with replacement derailleur cables and housing, and a chain wear indicator to assess drivetrain health after any impact.\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 D301 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D301 is a direct replacement hanger for specific De Rosa, Drag, and Eddy Merckx frames.

Carrying a spare hanger on longer rides in areas like Coorg or the Western Ghats is strongly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow does the Pilo D301 compare to using the original manufacturer's hanger?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003ePilo hangers are machined to match original dropout geometry closely and are widely used by professional workshops as reliable alternatives to OEM parts.
