{"product_id":"pilo-d816-derailleur-hanger-for-ridley","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Ridley","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D816 is a precision-machined derailleur hanger engineered specifically for Ridley frames. A small but critical component, the derailleur hanger acts as a sacrificial link between your rear derailleur and frame — protecting your frame from costly impact damage on everything from smooth Pune roads to the rough tarmac of Ooty's descents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads demand a spare derailleur hanger in every kit bag. From pothole strikes in Delhi traffic to a tumble on the Lonavala switchbacks, a bent or snapped hanger can end your ride instantly. The Pilo D816 is CNC-machined to exact Ridley specifications, meaning the derailleur alignment is precise and shifting stays accurate. At under Rs. 5,000, keeping one spare is a no-brainer for any Ridley owner riding Indian roads seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerailleur hangers are frame-specific, not rider-specific — sizing here means model compatibility, not body fit. The D816 is designed exclusively for Ridley frames. Before ordering, confirm your Ridley frame model against Pilo's compatibility list. When in doubt, contact Cobbled Climbs with your frame model and year for confirmation before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D816 is compatible with Ridley frames that use the D816 hanger specification. It works across groupset brands — Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo — as long as your Ridley frame takes this hanger pattern. Fitting requires standard Allen keys. Always carry a spare, especially during multi-day rides or touring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain protection kit with a rear derailleur from Shimano or SRAM, a quality chain and quick-links for trailside repairs, a compact multi-tool with Allen key heads, and a durable rear derailleur guard for extra protection on rough terrain.\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 D816 derailleur hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D816 is a replacement derailleur hanger for Ridley frames.
