{"product_id":"pilo-d514-derailleur-hanger-for-bmc","title":"Derailleur Hanger for BMC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D514 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout designed specifically for BMC framesets. If you've bent or snapped a hanger on a rough patch of road between Pune and Lonavala, or after a tumble on a Coorg gravel descent, this small part is the only thing standing between you and a full derailleur replacement. Keep one in your saddle bag or toolkit at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads are unforgiving — potholes on the Chennai ECR, speed breakers in Hyderabad's suburbs, and unpredictable surfaces on Ooty climbs all put lateral stress on your drivetrain. The Pilo D514 is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring your derailleur alignment stays true after a replacement. For BMC riders across India, this is a low-cost insurance policy that protects a far more expensive component. We strongly recommend keeping a spare at home and one in your ride bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerailleur hangers are frame-specific, not rider-specific, so fit is determined entirely by your BMC frame model rather than your body measurements. Confirm your exact BMC frameset model before ordering. Pilo's D514 designation corresponds to specific BMC dropout geometries — verify compatibility using your frame's model year and series if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D514 is engineered for compatible BMC framesets and works across Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo rear derailleurs. It is not a universal hanger — check your BMC frame model carefully. The hanger is designed to be the sacrificial component in a crash, protecting the frame's dropout. Replace after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain protection kit with a chain wear indicator tool, a quality rear derailleur from Shimano's GRX or Ultegra range, inner and outer gear cables, and a compact multi-tool with a hanger alignment feature for roadside adjustments on longer 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 D514 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D514 is a direct replacement derailleur hanger for compatible BMC framesets.
