{"product_id":"pilo-d768-derailleur-hanger-for-bmc","title":"Derailleur Hanger for BMC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D768 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout hanger designed specifically for BMC framesets. Whether you ride the hills around Lonavala or grind through city traffic in Delhi, a snapped or bent derailleur hanger is one of the most frustrating trailside failures — and carrying the right replacement means your ride is never truly over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads are unforgiving. Potholes in Chennai, broken tarmac on Pune's outskirts, and gravel shoulders on Ooty climbs all create conditions where derailleur hangers take heavy incidental hits. The Pilo D768 is machined to tight tolerances specifically for BMC geometry, so your derailleur alignment stays true after a swap. For BMC owners, keeping a spare in your saddle bag is simply good sense — this is a small investment that protects a significantly more expensive drivetrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a frame-specific component, not a sized product, so there is no European sizing conversion required. However, confirm your exact BMC frame model before ordering — BMC has used different hanger specifications across road, mountain, and gravel platforms over the years. If you are unsure, check your frame's model code on the downtube sticker and cross-reference with Pilo's model list.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D768 is engineered for compatible BMC frames and works across Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo rear derailleurs mounted to those frames. Always check your specific frame year and model. The hanger is designed as a sacrificial component — it should bend before your frame or derailleur does. Do not over-tighten the derailleur bolt during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound out your roadside repair kit with a quality chain tool and master links, a compact multi-tool, replacement derailleur limit screws, and a durable cycling saddle bag large enough to carry this hanger flat. These additions mean you are genuinely prepared for any mechanical on long routes through the Western Ghats or remote Leh passes.\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 D768 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D768 is a direct replacement hanger for compatible BMC frames. It is best used as a like-for-like swap when your original hanger has been bent or broken — common after a crash, a pothole impact, or a chain over-shift. Carrying one as a spare is especially wise on long routes like the Western Ghats or Himalayan roads where bike shops are scarce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow do I know if the Pilo D768 fits my BMC frame?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eFit is determined by your specific BMC frame model, not your body size. Check the model code printed on your downtube or near the bottom bracket. BMC has produced many frame variants across road, mountain, and gravel categories, each potentially requiring a different hanger. If you are unsure, share your frame model with the Cobbled Climbs team before placing your order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWill the Pilo D768 hold up in Indian riding conditions, including monsoon and heat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eYes. The Pilo D768 is machined from aluminium alloy and is not significantly affected by India's monsoon humidity or 35°C+ summer heat. However, it is designed as a sacrificial part — it is meant to bend under impact to protect your frame and derailleur. Carry a spare, especially on long rides in Coorg, Ooty, or remote Leh routes where replacements are hard to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow does the Pilo D768 compare to the original BMC derailleur hanger?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D768 is machined to match the geometry and thread specification of the original BMC hanger. Pilo's tight manufacturing tolerances are well-regarded in the cycling community, and the hanger is considered a reliable OEM-quality alternative. For most riders, the Pilo replacement performs equivalently to the original and is often more readily available than sourcing a part directly from BMC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eIs the Pilo D768 worth Rs. 5,912 in India, and what warranty does it include?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eAt Rs. 5,912, the Pilo D768 is priced in line with precision-machined specialty hangers globally. Protecting a rear derailleur that can cost many times more makes this a sensible purchase. As a consumable wear-and-crash component, derailleur hangers are not typically covered under a performance warranty, but Pilo's manufacturing quality ensures dimensional accuracy out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is the Pilo D768 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The Pilo D768 is a direct replacement hanger for compatible BMC frames.
