{"product_id":"pilo-d822-derailleur-hanger-for-giant","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Giant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D822 is a precision-machined derailleur hanger designed specifically for Giant frames. A derailleur hanger is the small sacrificial component between your frame's dropout and rear derailleur — it is designed to bend or break in a crash, protecting your far more expensive frame. Keeping a spare on hand is essential for any serious rider in India, where road surfaces can be unpredictable from Mumbai's potholed lanes to the ghat descents around Lonavala.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads demand preparedness. Whether you are grinding up the Western Ghats on a Giant TCR or navigating the broken tarmac outside Pune, a bent hanger can end your ride instantly. The Pilo D822 is a precise OEM-spec replacement that fits your Giant frame correctly without any fettling or filing. For riders who tour through Coorg or Ooty, carrying one of these weighing almost nothing in a saddle bag is simply smart riding. Pilo's tight manufacturing tolerances mean your derailleur alignment is restored accurately, protecting your drivetrain investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hanger is model-specific, not sized by rider body dimensions. Confirm your exact Giant frame model and year before ordering — Giant has used multiple hanger profiles across its road, mountain, and hybrid ranges. If you are unsure, check the frame's documentation or contact Cobbled Climbs with your frame model. One size does not fit all Giant bikes, so verification before purchase is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D822 is engineered for specific Giant frame models. It is compatible with standard rear derailleur mounting threads. Works with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo derailleurs that mount via the standard M10 bolt. No special tools are needed beyond a derailleur alignment gauge for accurate reinstallation. Store away from moisture to prevent corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your breakdown kit with a rear derailleur from Shimano or SRAM, a chain quick-link for mid-ride repairs, a multi-tool with allen keys, and a compact saddle bag to carry these essentials on every ride. Being prepared costs little but saves your entire outing.\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 D822 derailleur hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D822 is a replacement derailleur hanger for specific Giant frames. It is best used as a like-for-like spare when your original hanger has bent or broken after a crash or road impact.
