Designed for compatibility with both SRAM and Shimano systems, this lock nut is the kind of component that every serious cyclist in India should keep in their toolkit — especially when riding demanding routes where a loose or stripped nut can end a ride prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's roads — from the broken tarmac of city commutes to the steep gradients of the Western Ghats and the corrugated surfaces leading up to Lonavala — put real stress on drivetrain components. The Pilo S03 Lock Nut offers a reliable, cost-effective fix or upgrade for riders who demand precise derailleur alignment. For anyone building or maintaining a bike in Pune, Delhi, or Chennai, having this part on hand means less downtime and more riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a universal hardware component with no body sizing considerations. However, do verify your derailleur hanger thread specification before ordering. Pilo components follow standard European thread conventions, which are widely compatible with frames sold across India. When in doubt, cross-reference your frame manufacturer's spec sheet or bring your hanger to a local mechanic for confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe S03 Lock Nut is designed specifically for use with SRAM and Shimano derailleurs — the two most common groupset brands found on bikes in India. Ensure your derailleur hanger uses the matching thread standard. Clean threads before installation and use appropriate torque to avoid cross-threading on aluminium hangers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain maintenance kit with a replacement derailleur hanger, derailleur alignment tool, and chain lubricant suited for Indian conditions — particularly a wet-weather formula ahead of the monsoon season. A set of cable end caps is also worth picking up at the same time.\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 S03 Lock Nut best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo S03 Lock Nut is used to securely fasten a derailleur hanger to your frame, preventing unwanted movement that can throw off gear shifting.
