{"product_id":"pilo-d856-derailleur-hanger-for-merida","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Merida","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D856 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout designed specifically for Merida framesets. If your derailleur hanger has been bent or snapped on a rough patch of road — a common occurrence on Indian highways and broken tarmac — this is the part that saves your frame from far costlier damage. Stocked at Cobbled Climbs with free delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500 and COD available across India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads punish drivetrain components harder than most. Whether you're descending the Western Ghats, navigating Pune's potholed city streets, or recovering from a tip-over on a Leh gravel track, derailleur hangers are genuinely consumable parts. The Pilo D856 is machined to tight tolerances so your derailleur alignment stays true — critical for clean shifting. Keeping a spare in your kit bag is simply good mechanical sense for any Merida owner riding in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hanger is frame-specific, not body-size dependent. Verify your Merida frame model before ordering — Merida uses different hangers across its Scultura, Reacto, Silex, and Big.Nine ranges. If you're unsure of your frame year and model, check the sticker on your bottom bracket shell or contact our team at Cobbled Climbs for confirmation before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D856 is engineered to fit specific Merida frame models — cross-check your frame's model year carefully. Compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo rear derailleurs. Pilo hangers are CNC-machined from aluminium alloy. No special tools are required beyond a standard 5mm hex key for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain service kit with a rear derailleur (Shimano or SRAM), derailleur hanger alignment tool, chain lubricant suited to Indian monsoon or dry conditions, and a quality chain for a full drivetrain refresh alongside your hanger replacement.\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 D856 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D856 is a direct replacement hanger for specific Merida framesets.
