{"product_id":"pilo-d57-derailleur-hanger-for-gt-khs","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Airborne, Garneau, GT, KHS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D57 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout designed specifically for GT and KHS framesets. If your derailleur hanger has bent or snapped on a rough patch of road — whether it happened on a potholed Pune bypass or a rocky Ooty descent — this is the exact part that gets your drivetrain shifting cleanly again without replacing the entire frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerailleur hangers are consumable parts, and Indian roads — from Lonavala's broken tarmac to Delhi's speed-breaker-laden city lanes — make them even more vulnerable. The Pilo D57 is a direct fit for GT and KHS bikes, machined to tight tolerances so your rear derailleur alignment stays true. Carrying a spare in your kit bag is smart riding practice at any level. At Rs. 3,500, this is genuine insurance for your drivetrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a frame-specific component, not a sized item, so body dimensions are irrelevant here. What matters is matching the hanger to your exact GT or KHS frame model and year. Check your frame's model name and year before ordering. If you are unsure, Cobbled Climbs' support team can help you confirm compatibility before your purchase arrives via free delivery or cash on delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D57 is designed to fit specific GT and KHS framesets — confirm your frame model and year before purchasing. It is compatible with both Shimano and SRAM rear derailleurs. Always align the hanger with a derailleur alignment tool after fitting. Store spare hangers away from direct heat, which is worth noting in Chennai or Ahmedabad summers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete the repair or upgrade kit with a rear derailleur from Shimano's range, a quality chain and cassette combination, a derailleur alignment gauge for accurate setup, and a set of cable and housing for a full drivetrain refresh while the bike is already on the stand.\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 D57 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D57 is a direct replacement hanger for GT and KHS framesets where the original hanger has bent or broken.
