{"product_id":"pilo-d738-derailleur-hanger-for-specialized","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Specialized","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D738 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout hanger designed specifically for Specialized frames. Whether you ride Pune's crater-laden roads or descend the Western Ghats on a loaded tour, keeping a spare hanger is smart insurance against a bent or snapped derailleur mount halting your ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads are unforgiving — potholes in Chennai, rough tarmac on the Ooty climb, and the occasional monsoon-season gravel wash in Coorg can all conspire to bend a derailleur hanger. The Pilo D738 is machined to exact OEM tolerances for Specialized frames, meaning your derailleur alignment stays true after a swap. At under Rs. 5,000, carrying a spare in your saddlebag is one of the cheapest insurance policies in cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a frame-specific component, not a sized garment. Confirm your Specialized frame model before ordering — hanger fitment varies between model years and sub-brands such as Allez, Tarmac, Diverge, and Stumpjumper. No heat or body-fit considerations apply, but verify your dropout interface matches the D738 specification listed in Pilo's compatibility chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe D738 is compatible with select Specialized road, gravel, and mountain bike frames. It works with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo rear derailleurs. Use a hanger alignment tool after installation to ensure the derailleur runs perfectly parallel to the cassette. No special torque tools are needed beyond a standard hex key set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound out your drivetrain spares kit with a rear derailleur from Shimano or SRAM, quality shift cables and housing, a chain wear indicator tool, and a compact multi-tool sized for trail-side repairs on climbs like Nandi Hills or Lonavala.\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 D738 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D738 is a direct replacement hanger for specific Specialized frames when the original hanger is bent or broken.
