{"product_id":"pilo-d510-derailleur-hanger-for-bottecchia-vitus","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Bottecchia, Lapierre, Polygon, Vitus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D510 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout hanger designed specifically for Bottecchia and Vitus framesets. If you ride Indian roads — the broken tarmac of Pune ring roads, the steep descents around Lonavala, or the potholed city circuits of Hyderabad — a snapped hanger is a ride-ending emergency. Keeping a spare D510 in your jersey pocket or saddlebag is simply smart riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's road surfaces are unforgiving. Speed bumps, hidden potholes, and the occasional kerb strike mean derailleur hangers take punishment that European roads rarely dish out. The Pilo D510 is machined to tight tolerances so the alignment between your rear derailleur and cassette stays true — critical when you are grinding up the Ghats or descending Khandala in low light. At Rs. 5,912 it is genuine insurance for a high-value drivetrain, and far cheaper than a bent derailleur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerailleur hangers are frame-specific rather than rider-specific, so body size and fit do not apply here. What matters is confirming your exact Bottecchia or Vitus frame model before ordering. If you are unsure of your frame year or variant, photograph the existing hanger and compare it against Pilo's model reference chart, or contact the Cobbled Climbs team for guidance before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe D510 is engineered for Bottecchia and Vitus frames only — do not attempt to fit it to other brands. It is compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo rear derailleurs. The hanger is typically aluminium alloy and should be treated as a sacrificial, single-use component: once bent in a crash, replace it rather than straighten it. Store a spare in a dry place away from direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain protection kit with a rear derailleur from Shimano's road or MTB range, a quality chain from your preferred groupset brand, a compact multi-tool for trailside repairs, and a compact saddlebag or frame bag to carry your spare hanger on every ride.\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 D510 derailleur hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D510 is a direct replacement derailleur hanger for Bottecchia and Vitus frames.

In monsoon conditions or on potholed roads in cities like Chennai or Kolkata, carry a spare.

The Pilo D510 is machined to the exact specification of Bottecchia and Vitus frames, ensuring precise derailleur alignment. For riders running Shimano 105, Ultegra, or SRAM Rival groupsets, correct alignment is the difference between crisp shifts and constant adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eIs the Pilo D510 worth Rs. 5,912, and does it carry a warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eFor a component that protects your frame and derailleur — both far more expensive — Rs. 5,912 is well justified. A bent hanger left unfixed can destroy a rear derailleur worth many times the hanger's cost. Pilo products are manufactured to consistent quality standards.
