{"product_id":"pilo-d393-derailleur-hanger-for-merida","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Merida","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D393 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout hanger engineered specifically for Merida frames. If you've bent or snapped a hanger on a rough patch of tarmac between Pune and Lonavala, or clipped a kerb in Delhi traffic, this is the part that saves your derailleur — and your ride. Stocking a spare is simply smart riding practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's road surfaces — from broken village lanes in Tamil Nadu to the monsoon-ravaged switchbacks above Coorg — are unforgiving on derailleur hangers. The Pilo D393 is machined to close tolerances, ensuring accurate derailleur alignment once fitted. Pilo is a specialist in this category, and their Merida-specific fitment means no awkward shimming or guesswork. For any Merida owner riding regularly in Indian conditions, keeping a D393 in your kit bag is as essential as carrying a spare inner tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a frame-specific component, not a sized garment — fitment is determined by your Merida frame model and year, not rider body measurements. Before ordering, confirm your exact Merida frame model. Pilo produces hangers across a wide range of Merida variants, so cross-check your frame details with Cobbled Climbs if you are unsure which D-number applies to your bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe D393 is designed exclusively for compatible Merida frames. It works across drivetrain groupsets including Shimano and SRAM derailleurs common in the Indian market. Always check your frame's dropout interface before installation. Hangers are consumable parts — replace after any significant impact rather than attempting to re-straighten a bent unit, which risks derailleur damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain maintenance kit with a quality derailleur alignment tool, chain wear indicator, and a spare quick link for your chain. A compact saddle bag to carry this hanger on every ride is also a wise addition for touring riders heading into the Western Ghats or on Leh-Manali highway expeditions.\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 D393 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D393 is a direct replacement hanger for compatible Merida frames.
