{"product_id":"pilo-d496-derailleur-hanger-for-ridley","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Garneau, Ridley, Tideace","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D496 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement part designed specifically for Ridley frames. A small component with a big job, this hanger acts as a sacrificial link between your rear derailleur and the frame — protecting far more expensive parts when you take a knock on a rough descent or a crowded city ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads — whether you're navigating potholed city streets in Pune, tackling loose gravel on the Western Ghats, or descending sharply from Khandala — put real stress on drivetrain components. A bent or snapped derailleur hanger can end a ride instantly. Keeping a Pilo D496 in your kit bag is simply smart riding. Pilo's CNC-machined aluminium construction holds tight tolerances, so your derailleur alignment stays true and your shifting stays crisp even after a replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hanger is frame-specific, not body-size specific — it fits the Ridley frame models it was designed for. If you're unsure whether it matches your exact Ridley build year or model, check the Ridley frame manual or contact Cobbled Climbs. Getting the correct hanger code is essential; the wrong hanger will not align your derailleur correctly regardless of how carefully you install it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D496 is designed exclusively for compatible Ridley frames. It works with standard rear derailleurs across Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo groupsets. Always inspect threads before installation and use a derailleur hanger alignment tool after fitting to ensure precise derailleur positioning. Not compatible with non-Ridley frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain maintenance kit with a quality chain lubricant suited to Indian monsoon conditions, a derailleur hanger alignment tool, a replacement derailleur cable and housing set, and a compact multi-tool for on-road repairs.\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 D496 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D496 is a replacement derailleur hanger for compatible Ridley frames.
