{"product_id":"pilo-s20-derailleur-hanger-plug","title":"Derailleur Hanger Bolt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo S20 Derailleur Hanger Plug is a precision-machined replacement component designed to protect your dropout thread when a derailleur hanger is not in use or has been damaged. A small part that carries serious responsibility, it keeps your frame's dropout clean, thread-intact, and ready for your next ride — whether that's a Pune weekend warrior session or a Leh expedition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads are unforgiving. From the potholed stretches of Hyderabad's outer ring roads to the loose gravel descents around Khandala, derailleur hangers take a beating — and when one snaps, the dropout thread is exposed to dust, grit, and monsoon moisture. The Pilo S20 plug is the kind of overlooked insurance policy every serious rider should carry. Machined to tight tolerances, it fits cleanly and keeps your frame protected between hanger replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe S20 designation refers to the specific frame dropout thread pattern this plug is designed for — this is not a garment sizing consideration. Before ordering, verify your frame's hanger spec matches S20. European and Asian frame brands often use differing dropout standards, so cross-reference your bike's manual or contact Cobbled Climbs for confirmation before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo S20 plug is compatible with frames using the S20 dropout thread standard. It does not replace an active derailleur hanger but protects the thread when the hanger is removed. Suitable for road, gravel, and mountain bike frames sharing this dropout spec. Clean the dropout thread before installation to ensure a proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain protection kit with a matching Pilo replacement derailleur hanger for your specific frame, a quality chain wear indicator tool, a bottle of chain lubricant suited to wet or dry Indian conditions, and a compact multi-tool for roadside fixes on long climbs.\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 S20 Derailleur Hanger Plug best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo S20 plug is designed to protect your frame's dropout thread when a derailleur hanger has been removed or is awaiting replacement.

A machined metal plug is far more resistant to monsoon moisture and heat than an exposed threaded dropout. Fitting the S20 plug during storage or transit actively prevents rust and thread damage in humid conditions like those in Chennai, Kolkata, or Mumbai during the June–September monsoon period. Clean and dry the dropout before installation for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow does the Pilo S20 plug compare to simply leaving the dropout unprotected?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eAn unprotected dropout thread is vulnerable to cross-threading, corrosion, and debris ingress — any of which can make future hanger installation difficult or impossible.
