{"product_id":"pilo-d313-derailleur-hanger-for-mbk-saracen","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Cross, Cultima, Garneau, MBK, Orange, Polygon, Saracen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D313 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout hanger designed specifically for MBK and Saracen frames. If you've buckled a hanger on a rough patch — be it Pune's crater-filled backroads or a rocky trail near Coorg — this is the component that gets your drivetrain shifting cleanly again without a full frame replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn India's cycling conditions — potholed city streets in Delhi and Chennai, rutted dirt tracks around Hyderabad, and the steep descents of Ooty — derailleur hangers take a beating. The Pilo D313 is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring your derailleur sits at the correct angle for precise indexing. Keeping a spare in your kit bag is simply smart ownership for any MBK or Saracen rider. At Rs. 4,540, it is far cheaper than a bent derailleur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hanger is frame-specific, not rider-specific, so sizing is about compatibility rather than body measurements. Confirm your exact MBK or Saracen frame model before ordering. Frame geometry does not change with Indian heat, but note that aluminium hangers can occasionally seize onto steel or alloy dropouts in humid monsoon conditions — apply a thin layer of anti-seize grease on installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D313 is designed exclusively for compatible MBK and Saracen frame models. It works across a broad range of rear derailleur standards. Always verify your specific frame year and model number against Pilo's fitment guide. Not compatible with thru-axle dropout systems unless confirmed by your frame's documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider pairing this hanger with a rear derailleur from Shimano's road or MTB range, a quality chain such as those from KMC or Shimano, a derailleur alignment tool for workshop precision, and a cable and housing set to complete 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 D313 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D313 is a direct replacement hanger for MBK and Saracen frames where the original hanger has been bent or broken — typically after a crash, a dropped bike, or an impact with road debris.
