{"product_id":"pilo-d617-derailleur-hanger","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Conway, Felt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D617 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout hanger designed to protect your rear derailleur and frame in the event of a crash or impact. Keeping a spare in your kit bag is one of the smartest decisions any serious cyclist can make — especially on the unpredictable roads and trails across India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's roads demand durability from every component. Potholes on Pune's outskirts, sharp gravel on Ooty descents, and the occasional monsoon slide all put lateral stress on your drivetrain. The Pilo D617 is the sacrificial link that saves your frame — and at under Rs. 4,500, replacing this instead of a carbon rear triangle is a straightforward decision. Pilo's tight machining tolerances mean shifting stays precise after installation, with no play at the hanger interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerailleur hangers are frame-specific, not rider-specific. The D617 fits a defined range of framesets — verify your frame brand, model, and year before ordering. Indian riders running clone or house-brand frames should cross-check the hanger geometry against Pilo's compatibility chart. If you are unsure, bring your bike to a local shop or contact Cobbled Climbs for confirmation before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D617 is compatible with specific frame models — check Pilo's reference list to confirm fitment. It works across Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo rear derailleurs. Use a hanger alignment gauge after installation to ensure precise derailleur alignment, particularly important with tight-tolerance 11- and 12-speed drivetrains. Store spare hangers away from direct moisture during monsoon months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep your drivetrain complete with a quality rear derailleur, a derailleur hanger alignment tool, and a set of gear cables and housing for a full drivetrain refresh. A compact multi-tool with a hanger bolt fitting rounds out a sensible road or trail emergency kit.\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 D617 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D617 is a replacement derailleur hanger — a frame-protecting sacrificial component that absorbs impact when your bike falls or the rear derailleur takes a knock.

Keeping a spare at home and one in your kit bag is highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow do I know if the Pilo D617 fits my frame?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eDerailleur hangers are frame-specific, not universal. Check the Pilo compatibility list using your frame brand, model name, and year of manufacture. If you ride a house-brand or locally assembled frame common in cities like Ahmedabad or Kolkata, cross-reference the hanger geometry carefully.

During monsoon season, rinse the hanger area after wet rides and keep the hanger bolt lightly greased to prevent corrosion. In 35°C+ heat common across Pune, Chennai, and Hyderabad, alloy hangers perform reliably. Store spare hangers in a dry place away from prolonged moisture exposure for longest shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow does the Pilo D617 compare to a generic derailleur hanger?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eGeneric hangers are often cast rather than CNC-machined, which can introduce small geometry variations that affect shifting precision — critical on modern 11- and 12-speed drivetrains. Pilo hangers are machined to tight tolerances, meaning consistent alignment and predictable performance after installation. For riders who care about crisp gear changes on climbs like Lonavala or Khandala, the precision difference is worth the modest price premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eIs the Pilo D617 worth Rs. 4,373 and does it include a warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eAt Rs. 4,373, the Pilo D617 is considerably less expensive than repairing or replacing a damaged frame or rear derailleur — making it exceptional value as insurance for your drivetrain.
