Designed as a sacrificial component, it protects your frame from costly damage during crashes or trail mishaps — a small part that carries serious responsibility for every rider who tackles technical terrain from the Western Ghats to the dirt tracks outside Pune.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads are unforgiving. From broken tarmac in Chennai to rocky doubletrack near Lonavala, derailleur hangers take punishment that riders often overlook until shifting goes wrong. The Pilo D679 is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring your derailleur sits at the correct alignment angle for precise, reliable gear changes. Keeping a spare in your kit bag is simply smart ownership — and at this price point, it costs far less than a bent dropout or a misaligned mech.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a frame-specific component, not a size-dependent one. Compatibility is determined by your frameset model — Votec or Polygon — rather than rider dimensions. Before ordering, confirm your exact frame model and year, as hanger profiles can change between production runs. If uncertain, photograph your existing hanger alongside the dropout and check with our team at Cobbled Climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D679 is designed specifically for Votec and Polygon frames. It is compatible with both mechanical and electronic rear derailleurs. Always check thread specification before fitting. During installation, hand-tighten first, verify alignment with a derailleur alignment gauge, then torque to manufacturer specification. Replace immediately after any significant impact — do not ride on a visibly bent hanger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain care kit with a rear derailleur from Shimano or SRAM, a quality chain from brands like KMC or Shimano, a derailleur alignment gauge for workshop use, and a chain checker to monitor wear between services — all available at Cobbled Climbs.\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 D679 derailleur hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D679 is a direct replacement derailleur hanger for Votec and Polygon frames.
