{"product_id":"pilo-d395-derailleur-hanger-for-cipollini","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Cipollini","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D395 derailleur hanger is a precision-machined replacement part designed specifically for Cipollini frames, keeping your drivetrain indexed and your ride smooth on everything from Pune's potholed ring roads to the steep switchbacks of Lonavala. A small component with a big job, it is the first line of defence protecting your derailleur in a crash or a bad moment on rough tarmac.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads are unforgiving — speed breakers, gravel patches on Ghats descents, and the occasional unavoidable pothole all put lateral stress on rear derailleurs. The Pilo D395 is made to be sacrificed so your expensive Cipollini frame and derailleur survive. Pilo's tight machining tolerances mean indexing stays accurate right out of the packet. Keeping a spare in your kit bag is simply sensible practice for any serious Cipollini owner riding in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerailleur hangers are frame-specific, not body-size dependent. The D395 is engineered exclusively for Cipollini frames — confirm your frame model against Pilo's compatibility list before ordering. Indian heat does not affect aluminium hanger dimensions, but always buy two: replace one after any crash and store the second for your next roadside emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe D395 is compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo rear derailleurs when fitted to the correct Cipollini frame. It uses a standard M10 derailleur bolt thread. Avoid over-torquing during installation. No special tools are required beyond a derailleur hanger alignment gauge, which any decent local bike mechanic in Chennai, Hyderabad, or Bengaluru will carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete the repair kit with a rear derailleur from the Shimano or SRAM range, a fresh derailleur cable and housing set, a chain wear indicator tool, and a compact multi-tool for roadside fixes on long Ghats rides.\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 D395 derailleur hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D395 is a direct replacement hanger for compatible Cipollini frames. It is best used as an immediate crash-repair component or as a pre-stocked spare for riders who train on demanding routes like the Western Ghats or Delhi's outer ring roads, where road hazards increase the risk of derailleur impact damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow do I know the Pilo D395 will fit my Cipollini frame?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe D395 is designed for specific Cipollini frame models, not all Cipollini bikes. Check your frame model name — usually found on the chainstay or near the bottom bracket — and cross-reference it with Pilo's compatibility list. If in doubt, contact the Cobbled Climbs team before ordering to avoid a mismatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWill the Pilo D395 hold up in Indian heat and monsoon conditions?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eYes. The D395 is CNC-machined aluminium, which is unaffected by the 35°C+ temperatures common across Pune, Hyderabad, and Chennai, or by monsoon moisture. After riding in heavy rain, rinse the hanger area and check for grit around the derailleur bolt to prevent corrosion building up at the dropout interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow does the Pilo D395 compare to a generic replacement derailleur hanger?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eGeneric hangers are cut to approximate dimensions and often introduce misalignment that throws off gear indexing. The Pilo D395 is machined to the exact geometry Cipollini specifies, meaning your derailleur aligns correctly from the first shift. For a performance road frame, the precision difference is immediately noticeable and worth the modest extra cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eIs the Pilo D395 worth the price in India, and does it carry a warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eAt Rs. 4,373 the D395 is significantly cheaper than repairing or replacing a bent derailleur or damaged frame dropout — making it excellent value as a dedicated spare.
