{"product_id":"pilo-d694-derailleur-hanger-for-decathlon","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Decathlon, Specialized","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D694 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout designed specifically for Decathlon bikes. Derailleur hangers are the first line of defence for your drivetrain — they are engineered to bend or break before your rear derailleur does, saving you from a far more expensive repair. Keeping a spare in your saddlebag is simply smart riding practice in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads — whether you are navigating Pune's potholed outskirts, tackling gravel sections near Lonavala, or climbing the Western Ghats — punish bikes harder than European tarmac ever would. A snapped derailleur hanger mid-ride can end your day entirely. The Pilo D694 is machined to tight tolerances and fits Decathlon frames precisely, making it one of the most cost-effective insurance policies any Decathlon bike owner can carry. At Rs. 4,373, it is far cheaper than a replacement derailleur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerailleur hangers are not sized by rider dimensions — they are frame-specific. The D694 is designed to fit compatible Decathlon frames. Before ordering, verify your Decathlon bike model and frame year. Hangers vary between model lines and production years, so cross-check your bike's geometry or consult the Cobbled Climbs team if you are unsure of compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D694 is engineered for specific Decathlon frame models. It is compatible with standard rear derailleurs across major groupset brands. Always carry a spare — thread carefully during installation and avoid over-torquing. A torque wrench is recommended. Not universally compatible across all Decathlon models, so confirm your frame variant before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound out your drivetrain maintenance kit with a rear derailleur from a trusted groupset brand, a quality chain and cassette for smooth shifting, a compact travel tool kit or multi-tool for roadside repairs, and chain lubricant suited to Indian monsoon or dry conditions.\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 D694 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D694 is a replacement derailleur hanger for compatible Decathlon frames.
