{"product_id":"pilo-d539-derailleur-hanger-for-merdia","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Merida","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D539 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout designed specifically for Merida frames. Derailleur hangers are sacrificial components — they absorb impact and bend before your frame or derailleur does, making a quality replacement an essential spare for every serious rider in India, whether you're navigating broken tarmac in Pune, gravel sections near Coorg, or fast descents around Lonavala.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads are unforgiving. From the potholed outskirts of Hyderabad to the rutted climbs above Ooty, a bent or snapped derailleur hanger can end your ride instantly. The Pilo D539 is machined to exacting tolerances, meaning your rear derailleur alignment stays true after a swap — no fussing with indexing from scratch. For Merida riders who take their bikes seriously, keeping one of these in your saddle bag is simply good practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a frame-specific component, not a sized item, so there is no European-to-Indian size conversion needed. What matters is confirming your exact Merida frame model before ordering. Merida uses different hangers across model years and frame materials, so cross-check your frame's model year against Pilo's D539 fitment list to ensure a correct match before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D539 is engineered for specific Merida frame models — verify compatibility with your exact frame year and model before purchase. It works across Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo rear derailleurs. The hanger is made from aluminium alloy and can be lightly cleaned with a dry cloth. Do not use solvent-based cleaners on the threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain protection kit with a quality rear derailleur from Shimano or SRAM, a set of derailleur hanger alignment tools for home workshop use, a compact multi-tool for trailside fixes, and a durable saddle bag large enough to carry a 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 D539 derailleur hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D539 is a direct replacement for a bent or broken derailleur hanger on compatible Merida frames.
